Hard to complain about foreign companies bribing people in your own government, if you are happy for your own companies to do that to other governments. It would be hypocritical.

<sarcasm> It would be like the U.S. having nuclear weapons and then complaining about other countries trying to develop them. Or if the U.S. promoted democracy but then used the C.I.A in South America to overthrow democracies. </sarcasm>
