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.
No country is more hypocritical than the USA. Other countries may be bastards but they don't try to act like they are angels.
That is because the other countries are not superpowers. Although I do not think power corrupts, it does allow corruption to run free.
