Sorry about the bad lines on the first chart. The right numbers are $420.7 billions, 43% etc. of course. Check the source website for better information overall.

This is sad but true. One nation on earth uses ten times more money on weapons than any other. Why is that? This definately raises up some guestions about morality of USA. Can USA archieve peace and stability with this kind of agency? I think no!
