Rekstout (and in light of answers above, I mean no disrespect, I'm only quoting) - "The department of defense is obviously not going to make a detailed inventory or technical information available to the general public so one will never get the full and accurate picture."
Ha! Great point! That's exactly what the West has been trying to make Iraq do! But of course, the usual answer is, 'well, Iraq has consistently shown it's willingness to attack other states, and its own people'.
But the US? Surely it's ignorant to say that the West has never attempted to attack other states - look at Vietnam, or Panama. Our whole economies are supported on applying our 'market principles' onto fragile foreign states. Look at clothing, for instance - there's not a high street store that doesn't rely on "Made in China/Philippines/Vietnam" tags. I'm not a Marxist or anarchist, but I do think that the whole truth should be viewed; it's very interesting to view the whole states system as an impartial observer...
