Quote source "Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armory of thought, he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace." - Dorothy Thompson
Did You Know?There were 19 major armed conflicts underway in 2004. The governments of Colombia, Nepal and Uganda were fighting rebel armies, Russia was at war in Chechnya, India in Kashmir, Israel in the Palestinian territories, and the US along with several other countries (including of course the UK) was at war with Iraqi insurgents. The UK sold weapons to all of these countries in 2004, even to countries confronting each other. China, Taiwan, India and Pakistan each receive a steady stream of UK arms.
