22 CFR 126.1 says:

   (a) It is the policy of the United States to deny licenses, other approvals,
exports and imports of defense articles and defense services, destined for or
originating in certain countries. This policy applies to: Albania, Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Byelarus, Cambodia, Cuba, Estonia, Georgia, Iran, Iraq,
Libya, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, North
Korea, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine,
Uzbekistan and Vietnam. This policy also applies to countries with respect to
which the United States maintains an arms embargo (e.g., Burma, China, Liberia,
Somalia, the Sudan, the former Yugoslavia, and Zaire) or for whenever an export
would not otherwise be in furtherance of world peace and the security and
foreign policy of the United States.

If we could just get those damned South African terrorists off the FreeBSD
security staff, we'd be in a lot better shape on this front.

(Yes, this *is* a joke)
