the cultures for biological weapons came from the us though.


(btw, on another topic, care to explain me this? )
I've been reading posts for months now that seem to indicate the United States was the major exporter of weapons to Iraq back during its war with Iran. I never did any research on the subject. Now I saw that Russia, China and France were the lead exporters. I did not know that before today. I have not researched who exported what to whom back when I was a teenager. If some people only read these forums they would be lead to believe that the United States armed Iraq and no other European or Asian country provided Iraq with anything.

The Der Spiegel article is too difficult to translate. I don't know what Geheimdiensten means, and that is only the first sentence.
