Re: US arms sales shoot to record levels
But hasnt that been the case for a long time now? Since the days of the cold war, America has done a great job hyping up paranoia around the world, making governments around the world paranoid enough to believe that if they are not prepared for anything short of a nuclear war, they will be annihilated. Every few years, a new scapegoat is propped up as an excuse for the next ‘big’ war.
But hey, at least Israel gets it all for free.

The days of censorship are gone - Electronic media barks day in day out from around the world and no one can do anything about it.
Dr. Ayesha Siddiqas book Military Inc. Inside Pakistan's Military Economy - is an eye opener.

I appreciate your point but I don't think the problems between Iran and the Arabs can be blamed on the US.
