In fact, try this sometime. You would be hard pressed
this xmas season to NOT find any kind of an xmas decoration
that was NOT made in China.

I need go no further than our local US Army PX. Very little in there that's
made in the US. In the electronics section, everything is made in China,
Korea, or Japan, in that order. The toy section.. all China. Clothing
section.. China, India, Pakistan. Glassware.. China, Korea, Philippines, and
some US stuff like Pyrex. Electrical and automotive, mostly China, except
the oil products, and very few tools (even the Craftsman stuff is made in
China).

Very little of consequence is made in the US anymore.

That's what happens when you work at a post in the far east. In the
middle east, you can buy a Harley at the BX. Of course, they may be
made in China now.

Can order in a Harley at AAFES New Car Sales here, too. Can buy an
"American" car, as well... but every car I've seen on the lot was
manufactured in Canada or Mexico.

Yeah, but the public managed to vote them out in 2000 and keep them out
in 2004.

Lots of money being made in the arms industry. I'm surprised there
hasn't been a 'Land mines for Peace' campaign started by the providers
of death machinery.

============================================
God's One and Only People make lots of cash


Israel is one of the world's top five arms exporters, accounting for 10%
of the global arms trade.

====================================
The main exporters were USA ($10.4 billion Within Europe, Russia ($3.1
billion/£1.9 billion), France ($1.7 billion/£1.1 billion), Germany ($1.3
billion/£0.8 billion), and UK ($1.1 billion/£0.7 billion) were the main
exporters in 1999.

There are a lot of illegal exports, too. Greed knows no limits.:

I guess it's hard to justify an invasion of a country if you don't sell
them the arms before doing an about face and attacking them.
