Allan, Jim, I worked for an oil company in the 70's when our gov't passed a law making it illegal to bribe foreign officials in order to get business. This oil company ran afoul of the law for bribing the oil minister in Nigeria to do business. Now if anyone cared to look, you didn't do business in Nigeria for oil unless you bribed the oil minister. Anyway, I think the US politicians wanted the bribe money to stay in the US and be given to them as campaign contributions or whatever you want to call it. We, USA, always tries to impose Western morality on other countries and it rarely works. I'm still waiting to see what's going to happen with Egypt, Iraq, and now Libya. Sudden changes are not always that great...seems we never hear about South Africa anymore...all must be well there. Best Wishes,
