What a surprise… United States appears 6 times in the top 10 military producers. If only the tax payers knew this is where their money is going. All this money spent on arms and military could feed Africa for 1000 + years. A sad world it is…

That is right!
and they also hold 7 positions in the top 10 list of arms and weapons manufacturers.
Unfortunately as you said it is a sad world. Some countries feed the world with massive weapon and arms goods for billions of dollars and then complain about the resulting terrorism.
The money that could be to used to build schools, hospitals, roads and feed the hungry children….
oh no wait they are the same countries that warn us about earth’s “over population”!

Simon,
I wish more people shared your point of view, then the world would/could have been a better place for all.
But that day will sure come, for falsehood by its nature is bound to perish.
