We are selling weapons to Iran.

Russia sells new missiles to Iran:

"Russia has said that it has delivered new anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran and said it would consider more requests from Tehran for defensive weapons.

Sergei Ivanov, Russia's defence minister, told reporters in Moscow on Tuesday that Russia had supplied Iran with the modern short-range anti-aircraft systems TOR-M1.

"We're developing our military and technical cooperation with Iran in accordance with international law and will continue to develop it," Ivanov said.

"And if Iran wants to buy defensive, I underline defensive, equipment for its armed forces then why not?"

The United States has accused Iran of seeking to acquire nuclear arms and undermining security in the Middle East.

The United Nations has banned sensitive nuclear trade with Iran but there are no sanctions on conventional weapon deals."

Then this (via Taylor Marsh)
"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Fighter jet parts and other sensitive U.S. military gear seized from front companies for Iran and brokers for China have been traced in criminal cases to a surprising source: the Pentagon.

In one case, federal investigators said, contraband purchased in Defense Department surplus auctions was delivered to Iran, a country President Bush has branded part of an "axis of evil."

In that instance, a Pakistani arms broker convicted of exporting U.S. missile parts to Iran resumed business after his release from prison. He purchased Chinook helicopter engine parts for Iran from a U.S. company that had bought them in a Pentagon surplus sale. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents say those parts did make it to Iran.

Sensitive military surplus items are supposed to be demilitarized or "de-milled" - rendered useless for military purposes - or, if auctioned, sold only to buyers who promise to obey U.S. arms embargoes, export controls and other laws."

So, are any of the tinpot dictators paying attention? When you buy weapons from the US, it means we have intentions of invading or attacking you later. Remember Noreiga? Remember Saddam? They were our pals before they were suddenly and conveniently Enemy number one. When the US offers to sell you arms, you should either write your will or say no.

Don't say I didn't warn you....
