Why is it? We sell guns to the Arabs and dynamite to the Jews.
Are you proud that US weapons dealers dwarf other countries? Does it freak you out when many of those US made weapons are aimed at Americans in Iraq?

Your argument is wrong.
The US may have the largest "income" through weapons sales, but the majority of those are the sale of weapons systems to nations that we work with - such as F-16 aircraft to Turkey, for example.
The US is by no means the "#1 seller of weapons" to the world, particularly not when it comes to firearms. Just take a look at footage from the Middle East, Africa, and South America, and you'll see that the majority of weapons out there happen to be of Russian or Chinese make. Give you a hint ... the US does not produce AK-47 rifles, yet those are the most prolific weapon on the battlefield.
The US, by the way, spends more money importing weapons than it makes exporting weapons systems.

Are we? I think your source is a little skewed. We don't see guns to the Arabs nor do we sell dynamite to the Jews. the Jews have better weapons then we do. They are much highly advanced than we are. They have taught us how to make our weapons better and you have no idea how many weapons the Israelis sell to the world or the Italians. Italy makes and sells weapons all over the world in larger quantity.
I'm 100% proud of my country and 100% better than your lies.

This in simple terms shows how little you fairly comprehend, and how you have not researched or idea this out heavily. at the starting up there is not any conventional oil in Afghanistan. If we were in simple terms searching for oil why would we invade a united states of america that has no conventional oil reserves? second the united kingdom has massive quantities of oil in off shore deposits and produces extra then it consumes. So regardless of if oil became the motivating element in the back of the invasions why would the united kingdom be in touch. next oil is traded and priced on a international marketplace. Why would the US use up billions and billions of money and thousands of lives to maintain oil at the same time as the entire international would take advantage of decrease prices no longer in simple terms the US? finally regardless of if Iraq does have great oil reserves, Iraq became exporting oil earlier we invaded, would it no longer were more affordable to assist rebuild the oil infrastructure in Iraq as a replace of invading, destroying, and then rebuilding it after the warfare? i do no longer help the Iraq warfare, notwithstanding I absolutely have a minimum of idea heavily about it and it does look truly a recommendations fetched to say oil became the motivating element in the back of it. i imagine earlier you pass spouting off such accusations you should perhaps imagine extra heavily about what your conserving. or you in effortless words finally end up sounding ignorant.

I don't believe you have your facts right, Tyrone. Russia, China, Pakistan, N.Korea, Israel, and France, are all in the weapons business. If a country chooses to buy American, it's because of quality.

Yes, very true indeed. Yet, Bush complains a lot when Iranians are selling their IEDs to the Iraqi insurgents. Well, it's nothing personal, but business is business. Anybody who want to sell can have a share of the pie too...

It's been going on for years. The selling of weapons to our allies. Does it freak me out? Of course it does.

Well, since the US "Defense" Industry is the largest in the world of course they are going to try and sell as much stuff as they can and they really don't care who buys it just as long as they keep making a LOT of money.

Because we are the number one weapons manufacturer so we might as well make money off of it... if not we would put too many people out of work, or we would stock pile and people don't like when other countries stock pile weapons... so we make them and we sell them.

Simple: we have more weapons than any other country.

If we didnt sell weapons to everyone, then Russia and China would take our spot; theyre already trying to.
