All I can say is when you have the 5 largest arms manufacturers in the world as the 5 permanent members of the UN security council what better conflict of interest could you ask for?????

If someone can't buy from one then they will buy from another. You also have to remember that a lot of weapons deals actually have to be sanctioned beyond the borders of those countries by the government before they can be shipped. If you check government records on arms sales (the ones they actually admit to) for the last 50 years the USA has actually shipped weapons into the theatres of 85% of the conflicts! The same groups probably bought from the other 4 countries.
