We've been wrong all along about how to bring about peace.....

(Apparently if you give weaponry to the neighbors of violence stricken homes you will help stabilize that home and bring peace and stability to the neighborhood. Why didn't we ever see this before?)



U.S. says huge bump in Arab military sales will boost Iraq, Gulf security

WASHINGTON – The Bush administration said Monday that a new multibillion-dollar military sales package for Arab nations will help secure Iraq and the Persian Gulf while promoting stability and U.S. influence in a Middle East threatened by terrorism and rising Iranian ambitions.

Embarking on a four-day tour of the region with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the proposed U.S. package, estimated at more than $20 billion, “will help bolster forces of moderation and support a broader strategy to counter the negative influences of al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran.”

“We are helping to strengthen the defensive capabilities of our partners and we plan to initiate discussions with Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf states on a proposed package of military technologies that will help support their ability to secure peace and stability in the Gulf region,” she said in a statement.
