Actually I'm not even sure the US government actually sells the planes anyway - it might be the manufacturer, a private company, selling these items.

of course we sell them...we're #1 in international arms sales
as far as selling f-16's to people...we don't care....if they aren't friendly to us in the future...we won't give them the software upgrades....their heat signatures will easily be picked up & shot out of the sky with the simplest of anti-aircraft missles
just ask venezuela
