Jim Miller has an astonishing chart up which shows who sold arms to Iraq between 1973 and 1991. The US is on the list ($5 million) and so is Britain ($330 million), but they are small fry compared to the big four (Germany—$995 million, China—$5.5 Billion, France—$9.4 Billion, and the former Soviet Union—a breathtaking $31 Billion). Gee, Germany, China, France, and Russia—who'da thunk it?
