    The Swiss hishonest??!? Say it ain't so! I guess between melting down gold fillings and being a tax haven to the extremely rich Europeans they have to have some hobbies.

    But to be fair, they are just as happy doing the same thing in the USA / UK and probably elsewhere. Companies should be taxed on what it is perceived they earned in the country (I'm sure a decent accountant can stip out these things). The difference in most of Africa is the locals are corrupt enough to take a kickback. That nothing has yet to be done over here is... interesting.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
