To keep a good supply of dictatorships and terrorists for us to fight in the future. Look at who we are fighting today. Osama: America supplied and trained Osama and his boys back in the early 80s. Saddam. America armed and trained Saddams Iraq back in the 80s. Now today we have to fight a war against them. Will we be fighitng a war in the future against those we are supporting today?
Maybe America needs to watch who they "buddy up" with from now on.

America is not the only country, there are other influential countries which for financial benefits supply arms to all the world. These countries will never agree a ban on this lucrative trade. If a restriction is placed by one country, the other will be offering the same. Terrorism under present shape Will disappear if terrorist have no supply of arms from any source.

Why don't you have the guts to say what you really want to say and tell all of us here how much you hate the USA and George W. Bush. Are you like the rest of the terrorist assholes and have to hide and lie constantly?

Because our government is very arrogant and they think the American people are to stupid to notice what is really going on.
It's not for the money because they sell these weapons at about a quarter of what it costs to make them so it must be stupidity.
There's your answer..sort of..the government is arrogant and stupid.

we gotta do something with all our old equipment. Sadly we've been selling to the enemy ever since there have been enemies.
