Arms Deal

Like every week day I woke up and got ready to work by watching the Today Show. They covered a story on how Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates were headed to Saudi Arabia to offer them an arms deal for support of the Iraq War and to show that the U.S. remains committeed to the region despite its problems in Iraq and the growing strength of Iran.

There is a bunch more to this story here, but seriously, do you need anymore to make any judgement of your own?

Should our country be offering arms deals to anyone, at all? Hmm, wasn't this type of action what aided the build up of Iraq and ultimately to two wars? Thanks Bush senior. I just don't understand why our country would do something like this with all that has happened to us since 9/11. DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. It also makes me increasingly sick to my stomach. Any one else have any thoughts?
