Would this have happened without the gov setting up the sting? Maybe, maybe not. But does it really matter? The bastard was trying to buy a fucking RPG!
I think you're missing the point of the abcnews story. The government has made this out to be a major bust of some sort of arms dealing ring. If this story is true, all they did was convince some idiot who needed money to buy a fake missile.

If you read this story, for example:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...issile_plot_27

the guy is said to be "a significant international arms dealer." It's quite a different story than the abcnews story.
