U.S. Leads the World in Sale of Military Goods

The US leads the world by far in selling of military goods and military funding gifts. Time and time again, the US has poured military money into oppressive regimes that have systematically murdered their people, all the while advertising our funding support as necessary for peace and justice. Certainly, this has been bipartisan, although a detailed breakdown of party responsibility through each debacle would be very interesting.

How can we expect other countries to limit their nuclear, biological warfare, and other arms development when we are the biggest military traffickers in the world, and moreover when we have used military might, both ourselves and through often unscrupulous partners, more than any other nation in the world?
