Furthermore, this spans nearly thirty years. I'd imagine that in 2002 since we weren't friends with Iraq, we weren't selling them anything. How about a chart pre-"War with Iraq" for a bit more accuracy?
On a related note, who cares how much other countries sold them? The fact remains
we sold them shit. That means we're two faced assholes for getting pissed off when they use it.

"What the fuck are you doing? You can't fucking drive that!" *BLAM*
You can dance around it, shine it up, make it as pretty as you want with your charts. But the fact remains: We sold weapons to Iraq knowing full well what they'd be used for. They killed a bunch of people with them. We looked the other way.
Later, when we don't need them any more, we decide they're evil. We overthrow their goverment. This isn't the first time this has happened. This isn't the first time America sponsored a bloodbath. I doubt it will be the last.
Quzah.
