I *was* trying to be funny...sort of. I've yet to be convinced that our bastard Musharraf actually had Bhutto's safety in mind, especially when he denied her requests for greater security.
As for our sale of weapons to the world, I'm with Einstein: You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
We sell weapons, and then express shock and dismay when people have the temerity to use them. Who are we fooling with that anymore? Ourselves, maybe.
