COMMENTARY     

jackie (american)
24th May 2005 		Nothing surprising; my only thought is we ultimately reap what we sow. Iraq and Afghanistan are great examples of this, where we (the USA and the UK) are fighting against people using our black market weapons.
Ironic
16th November 2005 		Does anyone else not think it's ironic that the 5 permanent memebrs of the UN security council -- China, France, Russia, UK and US -- also happen to be the top 5 exporters of weapons to poor developing countries?

No wonder world "security" is so shitty.
