Microsoft is using illegal bribes in the Middle East and Africa
Yes, they do. They all do. You need a rule of law, to tame corruption and no non-democracy has that.<p>The attempt to deploy western culture globally has failed miserably, generating jobs who exist merley to errect a veneer of compliance.<p>Behind the thin layer of paint, the old culture and world continus happily on unphased by the hysterics. And it was always painfully obvious for those in the know.<p>For example there was a law in many arab countries, that you could not do buisness with israel and do buisness with them. Yet, when you opened company location maps, there they were, side by side, right next to the company "morals & mission statements" tab.
The obvious answer, bribes in broad daylight.<p>Now, as the western exported "cultural revolution" winds down in obvious failure, all that veneer fades away and the ugly old world reappears as if it was never gone.<p>Very soon, the workers with confiscated passports might as well be called slaves again. Its a sad, depressing state of affairs, but then it was for the non deluded befor this point in time too.
