#2 Could the term 'dual-use' could also mean dual- user.

#3 "~~Linke party~~ Communist Party of East Germany lawmaker Jan van Aken suggested..."

There appears to be a fundamental law for Western relations with the Arab-Islamic world:

Whether the West engages/trades with/boycotts/criticizes/praises/negotiates with/attacks/supports/detracts/etc Arab-Islamic governments/rebels/dissidents/moderates/hardliners/etc the West is always making a mistake and is ultimately to blame for the bad consequences.

If the West completely ignores a nation (like Afghanistan in the 90s) the same applies.

The West is at fault. Always. The governments and people of these countries are never ever to blame.

Except with AK-47s and IEDs.

#5 The Germans knew and didn't care. Same goes for their super-bunkers. Considering how much guilt so many Germans feel over World War 2 you would think they'd bend over backwards in the direction of not selling to people dedicated to ethnic cleansing Israel.
