Late last night I was researching arms sales when I came across an article in 2010 how Barack Obama to authorize record $60bn Saudi arms sale This article and others led to the fact that Saudi Arabia is using cluster bombs, banned but sold by US to Saudi Arabia, to bomb people of Yemen. As I was untangling this research, some of which you can find below, the song “Where have all the flowers gone?” came to my mind. With apologies to Pete Seeger here is version of the song using my research on arms sales and cluster bombs.

Where have all our cluster bombs gone?

Where have all our cluster bombs gone?
Long time banned
Where have all our cluster bombs gone?
Not so long ago

Where have all our cluster bombs gone?
Saudi Arabia purchased them, everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the Saudi bombs gone?
Long time banned
Where have all the Saudi bombs gone?
Not so long ago

Where have all the Saudi bombs gone?
Dropped on Yemen everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the dropped bombs gone?
Long time banned
Where have all the dropped bombs gone?
Not so long ago

Where have all the dropped bombs gone?
Killing of Yemenis, everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the Yemenis gone?
Long time banned
Where have all the Yemenis gone?
Not so long ago

Where have all the Yemenis gone?
Dead or looking for arms, everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the arms gone?
Long time banned
Where have all the arms gone?
Not so long time ago

Where have all the arms gone?
Gone to killing, everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the killings gone?
Long time banned
Where have all the killings gone?

Where have all the killings gone?

Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
