Please don't take this as a debate but a commentary - there are weapons
suppliers from the US who are privately run, the same people who sell our
military guns.  There are also mercenary groups that acquire these weapons

blame you for not getting into it.  Nor am I questioning whether the US was
directly involved, and whether that was good or bad.  Just stating for the

know.  It's also not stated to white-wash anything.  But it is a fact unto
itself.

Kool, would you care to enlighten the list as to why you stay where you are?
I am genuinely curious, I can imagine many motivations but would like to
hear it from you directly.

interested in researching this.
