Friend or Foe?

According to Maj. Gen. Richard Cone, the U.S. is about to begin providing M-16 rifles to the Afghans, and is poised to deliver about 10,000 a month, up to 60,000. And he said there is an ongoing effort to obtain helicopters for the Afghanistan forces, including plans for an additional 34 in the near future.

Now the big question is: How long will it be before those very same weapons are used against us? Not possible? Take a look at Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Hamas, etc, etc, etc. We will never learn it seems. Why does today's "friend" turn out to be tomorrow's "foe?"
