U.S. May Sell F-15s to Saudi Arabia

The Obama administration is planning to sell $30 billion of arms over ten years to the Saudis including advanced F-15 fighters. I think the U.S. should think very carefully about who and how it sells arms to other nations. We trained the Taliban and equipped Iraq during the cold war when we would basically give money, training, and arms to anyone that didn't like the USSR. Now we are paying the price for those mistakes. The Saudis are relatively friendly to us now, but the whole region is unstable so maybe we should stop shipping weapons there.
