I would hope the newer generations in countries such as this are becoming less and less impressed with this way of doing things. Do you think that is the case?

A cultural revolution would need many factors in it's support to work properly. Lack of education, and huge financial differences within the society won't help with that...
But when the whole world advances all around them, they will be forced to keep up or get destroyed... and I believe that time is quite close at hand.

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.

Exactly. That religion needs to be eradicated like the plague it is.
