And any similar launcher is called that henceforth.

And the chemical weapons Saddam was using against Iran and/or Kurds. American, AFAIK, and there were pictures of certain mr. Rumsfeld sealing the deal with him.

As if it isn't bad enough that weapon peddlers will do anything to sell their wares, countries are funnelling money to other countries for that. Knowing that many wars are fought simply because people are poor and living bad and want to get out of it, it amazes me that somehow there's never enough money to help them get onto their feet, but there's always money for weapons.
