De afgelopen week kende twee wapenhandel hoogtepunten. De publicatie van
het SIPRI rapport over de wereldwijde ontwikkelingen van de militaire
uitgaven en de start van de wapenbeurs in Aboe Dhabi. Het een staat
niet los van het andere.
IDEX
leverde een bedrag van US$ 5 miljard aan wapenorders op (niet gering
op een bedrag van US$ 30 miljard per jaar). Jammer dat de Nederlandse
pers niet even naar Nederland keek van (11 naar 12). Dat heeft
stuivertje gewisseld met Israël (van 12 naar 11).
