In the herald today,

"In terms of the dollar value of government-to-government arms sales agreements with the United States, Korea came seventh, having agreed last year to purchase $1.2 billion worth of arms. The United Arab Emirates topped the list with $8.9 billion in the total value of sales agreements concluded, followed by Saudi Arabia with $7.8 billion, Morocco with $2.4 billion, Iraq with $2 billion, Egypt with $1.3 billion and Taiwan with $1.3 billion.

and we wonder why these places are often described as "trouble spots"

America, supplying arms to the world to make it a safer place

Your snide comment is just that, snide. Those countries are all allies of the US. The US isn't just tossing arms out there for the fun and profit.
