the real merchants of death, the P5: global arms flows 2006-10http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/03/global_arms_exports&fsrc=nwl

must be an odd coincidence that all the big exporters of weapons are... white countries! i mean, given that they are all such upholders of human rights and democracy, this is so... consistent! like how they need to uphold libyans' human rights (but not those of bahrainis).

and hello! just by pure coincidence several just happen to be permanent members of the un security council. now what are the odds against that? astronomical, i tell you.

let us await the peaceful rise of the other honorable member of the P5 on the scene as the sixth biggest arms seller, which should be... any day now. of course, hans are honorary whites.
