Problem is these countries have oil. While they have oil they can do this shit and go unchallenged, and they know it. It's not the entire problem, but that's one of many reasons I think western governments take a cultural relativist stance and stay silent when these countries have scandals. It's all so corrupt.
Oh, I know. It's sure a good thing we didn't heed President Carter (more: actively mocked him) when he was so naïve as to suggest that our national energy policy should be considered the moral equivalent of war. Why should prudence and principle get in the way of profit? And what's just a bit more blood on our hands after benefitting from the human rights abuses of our many 'friends' for so long now?
