Lord of War for an Arms Trade class?
Q. I am a teacher and the current topic I am covering is the Arms Trade. The students are 17 - 19 years old. Do you think Lord of War is a good movie to show them vis a vis the arms trade? Or, is Blood Diamonds a better film on the subject? Do you know of any other films on the topic? Many, many thanks.

A. Lord of War. Also, try "The Doomsday Gun" about real-life engineer Gerald Bull, who tried to build a huge cannon for Saddam Hussein. edit: In "Iron Man" Tony Stark has a change of heart from a gun-dealing war-profiteer to ... something else.

Is Militant Islam a threat to the West? Or is it a fiction devised by the arms trade?

Q. Why did the USA vote against an Internatoinal Arms Trade Treaty?
Asked by benwalker1994 - Tue May 19 14:28:57 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Because that would have open the flood gates for any country to trade openly and with nearly unlimited control over what they sell. For example, Russia selling nuclear technology to states on the US 'axis of evil' (i.e., North Korea or Iran). And, the US wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

If you cant afford NX, dont worry, neither can I. But there are plenty of sites in which you can get free NX points, but some of they are hackers and spammers, so good luck finding a legit one.

A. The appalling racist diatribe from Iran is a good model for what you should present for North Korea. It is ignorant, xenophobic and hate-filled - just as we would expect from North Korea, except they have no anti-Jewish bias as Iran clearly does. Iran and North Korea are all that remain of the "Axis of Evil" so I guess you might claim Iran as an ally. I think North Korea would take the line that "our people are starving - we will sell arms for food and won't be signing any arms treaty any time soon!"
