arms trading is a fact of life and is enmeshed within government, governments act on behalf of the arms industry much the same as any other in terms of advancing their cause against foreign arms companies and recieving donations. I'm not so much protesting this fact as pointing out that hanging a dictator would do less to deter future deaths as hanging arms industry CEO's. Impractical and ridiculous yes.. correct and no more ridiculous than your statement? of course.
puppet dictators are a dime a dozen.. the CIA has installed many and will continue to. For better or worse, where there is a profit to be made the US goverment will be there advancing it's interests, like having the taliban over at the ranch for a barbecue to discuss oil pipelines and ignoring their human rights abuses when it suits them. Every country does it. The US is just bigger so you see it more often.
