There is absolutely nothing wrong with making comments about the effects 
of the arms trade on the history of this crisis.  Zoe's deletion was 
nothing more than that without even an explanation on the talk page. 
 Her summary comments did mention a lack of substantiation, so I've 
added a few references on the talk page, as well as a revised paragraph 
on the subject in the article.
