This is almost funny! tinyurl.com "MANAUS, Brazil - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Wednesday criticized Venezuela's reported efforts to buy 100,000 AK-47 assault rifles from Russia, suggesting that Venezuela's possession of so many weapons would threaten the hemisphere." In the meantime, the US, which is the world's biggest arms seller, has authorized the sale of sophisticated jets to Pakistan, against the very legitimate concerns of India. This sale, of course is advertised as a thank you gift from Bush to his most loyal helpful local dictator. motherjones.com The biggest recipient of US aid and military largess is of course Israel.
