        John,
        About your e-mail to Zahir (that was about Phil):

: your country to keep stuff that we have determined as bad for humanity
: (cigarettes, chemicals, fertlizers) to be dumped overseas for profit, how
(Zahir's email)

: The US is not the exclusive or even major producer of these items.  Check
: your facts on weapons specifically.  We are a very minor supplier of small
: arms. Look in Janes to see who produces what.
(John's email)

        The USA might be a minor supplier of small arms, but guess who was
selling Iran weapons (or even giving them). Wander who sells the African
nations the weapons they use (did you see the Angolan soldiers with M-16?).
Of course, Brazil is also a provider of small arms and some kinds of short and
medium ranges missiles, but the amount we sell is much smaller than USA's. And
all the cigarrettes (you don't see them in the USA, but the rest of the
world is flooded with Malboro), chemicals (is cheaper to dump them is 3rd World
countries, and the 3rd World countries don't even care, they drink it like
water).
