The Arms Roundabout

Original posting, September 2006

It seems that equipment originally supplied to Iran by the British has found its way into the hands of Hizbollah. Iran gets the blame for fomenting trouble in the Middle East, but possibly the circle closes back onto UQ (aka UK) Ltd where it may have all started.

However, being a circle, the beginning cannot be so easily ascertained, but certainly, implications are apparent.

  • When you sell anything to anybody you instantly lose control of what happens to it, but the responsibility is retained only at the time of sale in respect of the article being ‘fit for sale’
Certainly, ‘fit for sale’ seems to be satisfactorily honoured.
