Peter, I suspect that the majority shares my feelings, as I have not heard any outcry on this forum to halt the genocide in Sudan. It has been said that silence is consent and I guess you are as much guilty of it as I am.
Based on this measure, the only difference between you and me that you were vocal in your support for the war in Iraq and I was opposed to it. However, with respect to Sudan, our mutual silence speaks volumes. As far as seeking profit and working for questionable governments, let us not apply double standards shall we? There are tens of thousands of Goans who work in countries that have regimes that continue to violate human rights. Just because you have the privilage to work in the US does not mean that you need to pass judgement on the economic choices made by others who seek to feed their families. We are all capitalists at heart. I also need not remind you that many in this and in previous US adminstrations had no issues working with Saddam and a variety of other regimes. If it is good for business, it is good - period.
