2. Almost TOO obvious for the corrupt political system

6. I've been here more than two years and I still don't know what n/t means.

9. The top four sellers -at least to Libya were Italy, France, UK, and Germany,

at least in the last four years. Since Gaddafi 'saw the light' and fooled the West into believing he was no longer the terrorist-sheltering-mad-bombing-nuke-building kind of despot.

5. $$

It's all about profit. In Rio De Janeiro, many of the gangsters who control the favelas there say they get their weapons from rogue cops. The cops then have these weapons used against them when they raid the favelas. Love of money makes people irrational.

7. How would the bomb makers make a living?

[Esra Star]

11. Three words

Military Industrial Complex.

They get it coming and going.
