| Message | Article 1 is the only one i approve. |
| Date | 13:56:24, August 05, 2007 CET | From | Union of Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Nuclear Weapon/Exporting Weaponry Reduction |

| Date | 21:26:53, August 05, 2007 CET | From | United Democrats of Jakania | To | Debating the Nuclear Weapon/Exporting Weaponry Reduction |
| Message | Article 3 I dont see how anybody can oppose. Selling arms to anybody but allies can end badly, as the situation in the real world says. The terroists in teh middle east have weapons sold by us to them. Also, if Jakania is neutral, why do we need chemical/biological/nuclear weapons? To me, it seems like nothing but a total and utter waste of money. |

| Message | A. You could argue that if they're going to get weapons from anyone, it might as well be us as someone else making a profit from them. B. It's a deterrent, so other countries won't bother invading. |
