Stop the military attacks is what Iraqis need - selling more weapons is good for western economies - who wins?

"Iraq Army to receive 16 helicopters and 4,000 armoured vehicles
Azzaman, January 8, 2007

Iraq has signed contracts for the purchase of armoured vehicles and other weapons with European and U.S. weapons companies, a statement by the Defence Ministry said.

The statement did not say how much the contracts were worth but a defence spokesman said the value of Iraqi weapons purchases was conditional to budget allocations which he did not specify.

But the statement said most of the weaponry will come from the United States and will be a gift to the troops as part of U.S. moves to strengthen Iraqi forces."
