Yah, the US hates competition. The funny part is that he was, at the same time, both the world most wanted man and a subcontractor for the defense department. Looks like the same thing that happened with Sadam, we were his friend until he was no longer usefull.


@ Curtisp:

No, there are lots of arms dealers but this was the worlds largest. He is also the character on which they based that movie "Lord of War" with Nicolas Cage. Pretty good movie too.

It's more of a stroy about how the US hates competition in the arms market.
