For now if any irakian child have any weapons is because war begun by USA. Now are more accidents with weapons in childrens' arms than in Saddam's time, agree?

In Vietnam Ho Chi Minh, leader of the North Vietnamese defended his people against the imperial Japanese, the imperial French and finally the USA. The USA armed the South Vietnamese and interfered with their politics. They refused to hold elections because they KNEW that the Communists would win. They armed petty militias in the South to legitamise their war.

In Indonesia the USA and UK armed President (or General) Suharto who on US orders over threw democratic government, murdered 3 million of his people, invaded a nation, killing 1/3 of their population and loaned 12 billion USD, of which 6 billion he embezzled. They provided him with the weapons and money . the Indonesian people are still paying the debts imposed for that money.

In Chile the USA armed a Chilean General by the name of Pinochet and sent him home to overthrow the democratic government there. His dictatorship lasted until the late 1990's and he has still not been brought to justice for subverting democracy and committing genocide.

In Iraq, Saddam Hussein was provided with US manufactured chemical weapons which he used against the Iranians and Kurds. US officials attempted to suppress this information and when it came out they cheered him as a champion of democracy. He was even given the key to the city of New Jersey before his falling out with the USA over Kuwait.

Now these are examples of the sorts of crimes committed with US weapons. Here is a list of third world nations / groups supplied by the USA.

-Colombian military / drug lord
-Brazil's dictatorship
-Venezuala's military government
-Egypt's dictators
-Angola's genocidal rebels (where do you think US diamonds come from?)
-Cuba's pre Castro leaders (where slavery was legal)
-Taiwan's dictatorship
-South Korea's dictatorship
-Spain's fascist leadership
-South Africa's Apartheid regime
-the Khmer Rouge (worst since Nazi Germany)
-Afghanistan's Mujaheddin
-Saudi Arabia's dictators
-Afghanistan's Taliban
-Saudi Arabia's Al Queda organisation
-Kuwait's dictators
-Pakistans current dictator (Bush recently called him a shining example of freedom in Arabia while speaking in India. Pakistan is not Arabic.)
-Syria's current dictator
-Israel's occupying forces

Now, this is all before I get out my history book and start searching for obscure references like their support of the government in Zaire which resulted in the 1990's most bloody war or their manipulation of Yugoslavia which caused the Bosnian war and Kosovoan situation. If you want the complete list you will have to pay me for hours of studying but you surely get the picture already. The USA has military bases in 2/3's of the worlds nations and has had a negative role in 95% of wars since WW2 (the last they had a positive role in). Their military budget is larger then all of NATO, Russia, China and India combined and they effectively control 1/3 of the worlds nations through dictators and puppets who answer directly the CIA or US state department.

So next time you go criticising the former USSR for giving public license for AK-47 manufacture to numerous allies take a step back and think . why?

You are Good.

Truth is all nations, except maybe Canada, have some unsavory dealings in the past. Including the last 40 years.

Don't forget that an AK-47 is hardly Hi-Tech.

And the only countires that have "so called Russian hi-tech" are China, India, Ukraine (where some of it was/is developed,) to a lesser extent Belarus.

Malayasia is looking to purchase a Su-30 varient(great choice) called the SU-30MKM, full details are not yet available.

A former republic (Kazakistan, I think?) does have a small number of Mod-1, Mark-0, MiG-31's. Most likely left for reparations.

Other than that I do not know of any large or small scale proliferation of latest model MiG's or Su's to any countries,
or S-300/400's for that matter.

Of course if one remembers Jon Lake's article about potental US air foes. It seemed the older MiG-29A used by former East German pilots in 1-v-1 situations got the better of latest F-16,15,18 versions the majority of the time.

Which does not infer the Luftwaffe could beat the USAF/USN. What it tells me is all else being equal, contempoary Russian fighter jets are every bit as good, if not a little better than American/Western.
