He has been accused of trafficking weapons through a series of front companies to war-wracked Central and West Africa since the early 1990s. U.N. reports say he set up a network of more than 50 aircraft around the world, owned by small, tightly controlled companies including Bukavu Aviation Transport, Business Air Services and Great Lakes Business Co. Trade experts have said illicit diamond trading was likely one source of funds for his smuggled arms shipments. A 2007 book about Bout, Merchant of Death: Money, Guns, Planes, and the Man Who Makes War Possible, says a plane in Bout's fleet made several airdrops of weapons to FARC guerrillas between December 1998 and April 1999. The book, by journalists Douglas Farah and Stephen Braun, says the flights dropped about 10,000 weapons to the rebels, enabling them to greatly enhance their military capabilities. A 2005 report by the human rights group Amnesty International described Bout as the most prominent foreign businessman involved in trafficking arms to U.N.-embargoed destinations in Bulgaria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and other countries. The report implicated Bout in transferring very large quantities of arms from Ukraine that were delivered to Uganda via Tanzania aboard a Greek-registered cargo ship. A U.N. travel ban imposed on Bout that was still current as of last November said he supported former Liberian President Charles Taylor's regime in efforts to destabilize Sierra Leone and gain illicit access to diamonds. In October 2006, President Bush issued an executive order freezing the assets of Bout and several associates and warlords in Congo and barring Americans from doing business with them. They were accused of violating international laws involving targeting of children or violating a ban on sales of military equipment to Congo. The U.N. imposed an arms embargo in 2003 on the provinces of North and South Kivu and the Ituri regions of eastern Congo, and also on groups that were not part of that year's peace agreement for the region. Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Moscow-_base_d Center for Strategies and Technologies, described Bout as a rich adventurist, one of these guys who emerged at the start of the 1990s and started pumping weapons from the former Soviet Union into Africa. He is not in the same league as people who make and trade weapons, he said. He was influential and rich, but only in these vacated markets where countries were under embargo and state intermediaries didn't dare to sell. Bout was widely believed to be a model for the arms dealer portrayed by Nicholas Cage in the 2005 movie Lord of War. The only thing neccessary for Evil to Prosper is for Good Men to do Absolutely Nothing. CLINTON did Absolutely Nothing as the Soviets armed our Adversaries and the rest of the world, as Clinton rewarded Desperate and Deliberately Evil. Had Clinton done in '93 to Mogadishu, what Ethiopia accomplished in a single week, there factually would have been no OBL, no AlQaeda, no 911...
