Or like the Government of United States, which supplies arms to both the Government and the Rebels.

In places like Afghanistan, we actually put our own troops there, pay for PMCs and local national forces, and fund the enemy (Taliban, not AQ) via our supply contracts. That's even worse than just selling guns to everyone; we pay them both and then also sell them guns.
Its almost like there is a different motive than defeating the "enemy"...
