Arms of Death

The Lord of War is a very engrossing movie based on actual events.

The plot centers around the necessary evil of having gun-runners marketing weapons of destruction to warring nations particularly in Africa.

In this film, Nicholas Cage plays the role of a Ukrainian arms dealer domiciled in New York. As long as there are impending conflicts, arms are traded for cash, drugs or conflict diamonds. The break-up of the Soviet Union unleashed the largest storage of unused weapons to be used for wars from Bosnia, Liberia to Sierra Leone. Also "Lords of Wars" are required these days by arm manufacturers in the five permanent member nations of the Security Council of the UN to surreptitiously move out arms into zones of conflicts as 'part of industrial production'.

Good show.
