The Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations dumped 300,000 hand grenades into Central and South America and nobody batted an eye.

From your article-
The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush sent 300,000 hand grenades to friendly regimes in Central America to fight leftist insurgents in the civil wars of the 1980s and early 1990s, according to declassified military data obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by the Federation of American Scientists.

So Reagan should not have sent weapons to allies? I disagree on both counts. Our Presidents have that power and have used it regularly. Presidents of both parties. Do you you worry about the weapons Clinton greenlit to be sent by Iran to Muslims during the Serbian conflict?
