I think it time that "we" seek out those countries that continue to supply WMDs to other countries. WE as the country with the moral high ground on this issue must find these countries and stop their evil efforts to provide weapons that will kill and destroy innocent people. The task will be difficult to "travel" to these distance countries that would supply these WMDs, but WE must put a stop to such operations or the world will never be at peace..just more killings and destruction.

But where should we start...would it be proper to start with the country that is NO. 1++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

ASHINGTON, Sept. 24 — The United States maintained its dominance in the international arms market last year, especially in sales to developing nations, according to a new Congressional report.

The United States was the leader in total worldwide sales in 2002, with about $13.3 billion, or 45.5 percent of global conventional weapons deals, a rise from $12.1 billion in 2001. Of that, $8.6 billion was to developing nations, or about 48.6 percent of conventional arms deals concluded with developing nations last year, according to the report.
