I'm not saying that our weapons sales are good weopons sales, or that they don't have a habit of blowing up in our faces (if you'll exuse the pun) because they do, but it just seems like the yanks seem to provide weopons to a lot of countries that then end up turning them around and pointing them at American Soldiers, albeit politically this time.
Like with the first gulf war. The USA had just provided Saddam with a shed load of munitions to fight the Iran-Iraq war and then under a year later they are being used against American and coalition forces.
We are not entirely beyond blame, I agree, we've had our fair share of mistakes when it comes to the arms market as well. Although not quite on the same scale as the yanks. Or maybe we just don't hear about when our weapons get pointed against us.
