| Abstract: | Largely because of the stunning succes of American weapons in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, America has become the preferred source of one-stop shopping. A foreign government can quite literally buy a military force that is made in America, everything from combat jets to battle tanks to field boots. American defense contractors will provide the maintenance and training personell, too, for a price. If the global arms market could be likened to movie producer Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, then America is Tyrannosaurus rex, the biggest dinosaurus whose 60 percent dominance of world arms sales overwhelms the lesser players. |
