History has shown that business trumps everything else, Musket. If there's a lot of money to be made, inconvenient things like dictators, death-squads, and environmental destruction can always be disregarded...or perhaps tut-tutted over a bit while nothing is really done about it.

If, on the other hand, a dictator stands in the way of Big corporate business interests!!!....well, then, he's a threat to our very way of life and MUST be brought down for (cough! cough!) "humanitarian" reasons...
