Pfft, guns are guns, be they Soviet, Capitalist, Anarchist, Jihadist or any other -ist. We sell, they sell, we all sell.

Imo any political ideal falls apart when individual rights are not respected which is a fundamental prerequisite to a civilized society.

Unfortunately many of the political leaders of 21st century are in fact less civilized than many would like them to be. Political leadership should not be filled with the worst segment of character in society who will bring down every aspect of the country in the end.

Addition:

The EU weapon export to Libya was 344 milion in 2009, Italy's share was 100 million, UK's 80 million.

For comparision: Russia's waepon export to Libya in 2010 was worth 1.5 billion € ...

let the facts speak!


My guess is that the civilians in Libya don't care who manufactured the weapons who are used against them. If they had the choice I'm sure they would prefer to be shot at with Super Soakers...

And this, too.


If I had my choice, I'd rather have marshmallows thrown at me. Preferably by playful supermodels.

That's just selfish, think of the impact, desert countries have enough of a water shortage without riotous crowds and mercenaries just spraying it around.

Chavez is also buds with Iran, this is not about Chavez. I'm defeated? lol Chavez has allies such as Russia too, which are "buds" with Iran, they do business. Your freedom loving-corporations also do business in Iran too hate to brake it to ya. Btw your credit card company is likely to be doing business with Iran. Better cancel your accounts. Btw, US has sold weapons to sooooooo many dictators it would take forever to list them. But keep in mind this one, I think you'll recongize
