I read this article. I had a lot of thoughts about if this guy should be sent to the United States for trial.

I mean suppose a small country passed a law that said those who engage in producing any firearms violate their law. Suppose they bring charges against the President of Colt. They hire a private group to go in to the United States secretly and grab him and bring him back to their country for trial. Are they right?

I'm reading a lot of Frederick Forsythe's books now and ones that he recommends. It's a bizarre world out their. Money talks. Money influences politics. Say for example Colt was laying off workers because this guy bought ten thousand ak-47's for ten dollars a piece and was selling them at fifty dollars to the highest bidder. He also builds a small ammo plant which employs people in Russia. He is a good person in Russia.

Mrs. Molly Jones worked for a major chemical company for forty years. The company produces napalm. She doesn't go to another country and spray people with napalm but just helps put it together. Is she a bad person.

what may be right in one circumstance is wrong in another. If so, where is truth?

Remember that the freedom you enjoy is brought to you by many who carried M1's, BAR's and dropped bombs. "Peace" is fragile and only exists at the end of a bayonet or rifle barrel.
