Ironically enough, the United States was founded on stolen land. And I am quite certain our founding fathers would have been regarded as terrorists by todays standards.
Although I do agree with your overall point. It has become more evident over the past 15 years. Not with just the Bush administration, but the Clinton administration as well.

I disagree with everything you say. Selling arms is not greed. It is private enterprise. Who in the US claims to be a peace maker? We all want peace. Most people in the world want peace. The people in my country are not a disgrace. The US is the best country on earth, no matter by what measure you choose.
The US is not arming the whole world. Countries who arm themselves are doing the smart thing. If a country is strong it will not be attacked by it's crazy neighbors...like Iran is preparing to do.
Fighting wars in another country is a prudent thing to do. I would not want to fight a war in my back yard. That would be idiotic.
The people who founded the US did so by starting a war.

I think what is happening here, is an attempt to arm the gulf nations around Iran, as that country is viewed by many as a dangerous and growing military threat in the region. Also, a valid point might be that someday those very weapons may be used against us. Given the instability of that area, and the rampant anti-American, anti-Israel attitudes of many of its residents, I think the possibility of someday facing those arms in battle is almost a given.

I agree with you. Between Russia and USA, every country in the world has more than enough arms to wage war on their neighbors or ally with either one.
Now you can add China to the lot. Greed is everywhere my friend, unfortunately.
As for the USA it is not new, they were arming Germany too at the onset of WW II, they didnt care the war was in Europe. Sell arms to UK and the Germans, let them fight, we are making money.

1. the "ragheads" are goona buy weapons, this is what they
want,
2. since they are goona buy them -- why not have the US at
least make some $$$$$ and sell them -- instead of the
Russians (Iran buying Russian jets), French, English or
whomever.
as far as being a disgrace -- okay, but why are u coming down on the US --- hell half these countires are taking our $$$$ as hand outs and selling weapons is a way of getting it back......... don't u just love it?

If they didn't buy from us it would be someone else. And if one country wants to fight another, they will use knives and spears if they have to. You will never eliminate war.
There is an old saying that goes, if you want Peace prepare for War.

Exactly.
Anywhere in the world that a knife fight breaks out, the US is in there selling one side (or both sides) guns.
We empowered Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and now we're selling (or is it giving) weapons to Saudi Arabia (where most of the 9/11 terrorist came from).
We sell weapons to B to fight A then sell weapons to C to fight B, D to fight C, etc.

Could you be more specific when you say the USA. Do you mean our government or all the USA including Men, women, and children. You statement is vague and offensive. And where are you from anyway?

The good people that found it? you mean the ones that killed indians and took their land and brought slaves over and began slavery by using slaves to pick their cotton and peel the corn husks from the slave corn?
And the reason we sell arms to opponents in other countries is to make money and then DESTROY them! Peacemakers doesn't essentially mean gettin on our knees and suckin dik like you, we remove it from our earth, then there is no chance of an attack to occur.
Go kill yourself you monkey's ball hair!
