We Arm America and the World


In response to:  http://www.npr.org/2012/09/16/161228170/consulate-attack-preplanned-libya-s-president-says

From above:  "The ambush earlier this week gets at a deeper security problem in Libya: The government has no control over the heavy weaponry that proliferated during the days of the rebellion."

And just how many weapons came from the US?

Globally we manufacture and sell more weapons than any other country in the world.  The proliferation of hand guns in the US is a microcosm of the US global market.

What is God's name are we doing?  We arm the entire world and then are dismayed when things like this happen? 

 Many consular officials are in countries that the US 1% has vested oil and military industrial complex interests in. Yet our 1% owned politicians exclaim that these foreign offices are necessary to promote US diplomacy and democracy. 

We need to pull all employees, aid and arms sales from every country that is anti-American.  We need to put Americans who are making weapons to work rebuilding America's infrastructure.
