Who Armed Kadhafi? -The Guardian

Here is the raw data publish in The Guardian I guess if the allies don't destroy libya's cash of weapons and airplanes, Libya would not have any incentive to buy arms. It seems that we also use the Libyan conflict to display the new weapons and their sleek designs to attract buyers. But the buyers should realize that they won't be able to use what they buy, only the West can bomb, torture and kill civilians.

Where is Russia on the list? Haaretz reported March 10-2011: "Russia will ban all weapons sales to Libya, the Kremlin said in a statement on Thursday, effectively suspending its arms contracts with the government of Muammar Gadhafi." Before ban it wrote further, Russia had $2 billion of arm contracts and another $1.8 in anti-aircraft missiles. The question, now is why Gadhafi not using the anti-missiles?
