I agree---TOTALLY!!!  the arms manufacturers, their investors, those employed by them are the real culprits and enemies of stability.  I believe that all elected officials should have to surrender all financial information prior to taking office. ''blind trusts'''......... release of tax informations are not ''the answer' but rather a sort of an overt declaration that '''we know what they're doing!!!!''   I am not not trying/ wanting to be outrageously negative, but I believe that 'wars' are here to stay.  it is 'Cain and Abel' all over again....and again.  ''wars''- big and small are a symptom of the ''missing piece'' in all of our souls..the 'need to be on top."  world wide organizations such as the UN can be a major help diffusing fear and violence, but not rid us of them.  sorry to say!
