Where Does That Come From?

One thing I never hear anyone talk about is how some of the poorest parts of this planet end up with excessive amounts of deadly weapons.

How do people in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and others, have such easy access to rocket-propelled grenade launchers?

Do they carry them in their local convenience stores?

"Hi. I'd like a pack of Twinkies, a cherry slushie, and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher."

Jeesh, I think we have troubles here with guns. At least we don't have rocket-propelled grenade launchers. I can just hear an NRA member now explaining how he hunts deer with his rocket-propelled grenade launcher.

Obviously someone is purposely arming these poor nations to help create conflict. But who?

They also must be willing to part with these weapons at deep discounts because I can't imagine these poor nations, and rebel groups being able to afford this kind of stuff when they have difficulties even feeding themselves.

So who is distributing all of this deadly weaponry? Who's willing to eat the costs of creating chaos?

Is it Iran? North Korea? Syria? We can't cut off these supply lines?

Without someone supplying them with weapons, let's face it, these angry people would be fighting with sticks and stones.

Well we have enough troubles controlling our borders. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that we can't control other countries borders, like the one between Iraq and Iran.

The Gaza Strip has for all intesive purposes been cut-off from the rest of the world, surrounded by Egypt, Israel, and the Mediterranean Sea. Yet somehow they still manage to have rockets and launchers that they can recklessly fire into Israel and cause trouble.

Rockets? I mean c'mon rockets and rocket launchers? Everyone suspects that they're coming from Iran or Syria or both. But why can't we stop this importing of weapons?

How do you hide a rocket for crying out loud? Do you disguise it as a giant sausage or something?

Ugh.
