Cigarettes kill, but what about weapons, presidents, and members of congress?

today's wapo has a strong editorial about the tobacco industry which, in its ceaseless quest for ever-greater profits, continues to promote their products in the u.s. and around the world, regardless of the fact that such products are proven killers, and then has the unmitigated gall to increase the nicotine level of cigarettes despite the existence of strong regulatory oversight... maybe my expectations are too high or even misplaced, but why can't we see an equally strong editorial about our other merchants of death - weapons manufacturers, members of congress who rubber-stamp illegal wars, and criminal presidents who wage them...?
