Arms Sales

The New York Times reports U.S. Speeds Up Bomb Delivery for the Israelis. No surprise, we supply arms to the Israelis and Iran supplies Hezbollah. Maybe this is the just the preview of what's to come. Oh and we also sold $6 billion of arms to Saudi Arabia so that the Arabs don't think we're just on Israel's side.

I know this is naive, but would the region be less crazy if we didn't supply both sides with the means the kill each other? Go see Why We Fight. What if built them schools and gave them good history textbooks. I know, where would we get those from?
