Corporate CEOs Vs. Warmongering Executives-- An Analogy.
Edited on Tue Dec-07-04 06:26 AM by KlatooBNikto
By now most of us are familiar with our landscape littered with corporate CEOs, the miracle workers who promised shareholders oodles and oodles of profits if their plans for everything from slashing workers' benefits to outsourcing to cooking the books were put in place.

I am sure Global Crossing,Worldcom,Tyco ,Enron,Andersen,Halliburton are on everyone's minds if not on their lips. We know what happened to this sorry lot. They all came acropper when the truth came to light.The only people who benefited were the pompous liars who took their shareholders down the rosy path and enriched themselves.

Look at the same type of crowd now sitting in as President, VP and Defense Secretary cooking up pretexts for war,sending someone else's children into harm's way, spending trillions of dollars of your money and mine in wars that we can see no reason for, and guess what, enriching some of the same crowd ( Halliburton) that fleeced their shareholders just a few years ago.This time their stories include Terror, Islamists,Terror, Islamists,.

I hope there is justice in this world because the untold suffering these people have caused others in one guise or another is simply irremediable.

1. I hope there is justice in this world
greater power will deal with this in time... just imagine if we can bring this sort of corporate malfeasance to all parts of the world.. wouldn't that be grand?

Enron's sudden fall from grace has made it a dirty word in American business, associated with cooking its books and spreading money around to friendly politicians.

But in India, the Houston-based energy-trading company has long been viewed in much that way, as a heavy-handed U.S. corporation, expert at manipulating local politicians and callous in overriding the interests of everyday citizens.
