Much of Iran's arms came from us. We've GIVEN Dictator Mushareff in Pakistan $10 BILLION worth of arms in the last few years. We can't even keep track of what's happening to all of the arms that we're dumping into Iraq. Why are we doing this?

We shouldn't be giving $10 Billion worth of anything to anyone. We should be spending the money to improve the lives of our own impoverished citizens. Once we figure out how to keep people from not being able to get food and shelter, then we worry about everyone else.

The US is not giving billions in ammunition to the Saudis. The US is planning to sell billions of dollars worth of arms and munitions to the Saudis. Israel is also buying arms, as well as qatar and several other middle eastern states friendly to the US. We have been in the middle East well over sixty years, trying to help establish a Jewish state in Israel and pumping and shipping oil. The US hope is that a better armed middle east will somehow bring about more peace. It hasn't worked before, but it is being tried again anyway.

I don't know if the first statement is true. Giving Pakistan arms is just showing an alliance to them. Pakistan is in no time going to go against America especially with Musharraf in power. If your talking about arms and money then why not talking about the billions of dollar that is being fueled into Israel's military.

We have been giving billions of dollars to our REAL enemy for quite some time now and while everybody has been crying and whining about iran iraq and north korea...this sleeping giant is preparing to destroy us once we interfere with their goal of taking back Taiwan. Keep shopping at Walmart and buying "made in china" products and that money will keep going over to China and pouring into their rapidly growing military. And they have much more of a motive to attack USA than anyone if you follow the string of events.
In 1949: China invaded Tibet...the religion is buddhism....the most non violent people in the world beat to death for their beliefs.
In 1989: Thouands of college students had a peaceful protest in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. They sat down and had a
hunger strike. Then the government decided to send in the army to deal with them and ran over 2,000 of them with tanks and
shot them with machine guns. (proving that China doesnt take defiance too well)
1997:China shot missiles into the strait of Taiwan. USA stepped in and told China that if they try to attack Taiwan, USA will help
Taiwan defend itself...(You know the chinese government will not take crap like that from the usa...look how they dealed with
tiananmen students in 89)
2001: China, along with India, begin to grow at extremely fast rates. Their economys predicted to pass USA's economy
by the year 2010.
2003: Even though China is growing extremely fast...they are keeping their currency at a low price...This is called
"floating your currency".. Countries would do this if they wanted to create an unfair advantage in world trade activities.
Every country buys from China now..Americas own walmart stocks nothng but China. This means that exports coming from China to the USA are cheap, and exports from USA to China are expensive. Chinas economy rises, USA's drops.
2003:President Bush starts sending his reps over to China to ask them to stop "floating their currency".
2006:Chinas military quadruples within a matter of a few months, something that has never been done
with any military in history. They are preparing for something.
2006:Chinas stock market starts breaking records..proving that their economy is growing fast.
2007: China has not stopped floating their currency yet and Bush is still sending people.
2007: China build up their missiles and shoot a ballistic missile into outerspace, shooting down their
own satellite which was originally launched in 1999. Proving and testing that they have the capability
now to reach countries (like you know who hint hint) who are on the other side of the world from them.

Heck NO! But what ya gonna do about it? We, the people, have NO say whatsoever in the choices our federal government and our president make. That's obvious from what has happened with this so-called war over in Iraq.
