Lord of War Comment

The movie showed some criminal organizations such as the weapon traffic organization, the middle east guerrillas, the african RUF (Revolutionary United Front), the Ucranian and American corrupt governments, the Latin American drug organizations, among others. These organizations work against the law and subsides armed conflicts where the most affected are innocent people. They do this in order to generate fear among the population so they could maintain their power. They kill sometimes just for pleasure, recruit children to work with these "blood armies" and support irracional wars even with their compatriots.

Colombian country have had some strong criminal organizations nearly since 50 years ago. These organizations, most commonly called "guerrillas and paramilitares", have been implementing some severe tactics such as the ones seen in the movie, they also recruit small children and women and compel the goverment to follow its demands. They need to be fully supplied by weapons, so they trade them illegally and finance its activities by the kidnapping money, drug traffic and land stealing. These kind of organizations are found all around the world and still function because of the growing government´s corruption, the acceptance of bribes, the high profitability of these type of businesses (smuggling) and the little care by blood spread.
