The devil, as they say, is in the details. And obviously, there are lots of details.

Western companies are not "evil." I propose to strike that word from usual, ordinary language and limit it to theological discussions.

Western companies, like Eastern companies, or Arab companies, are only in business to make money. Theologically, it is the "love" of money, not money itself, which is "evil", and it is silly to argue that a company could "love" anything. Companies just do deals.

The "lefty" press often forgets that any moral dimension to a business deal has to be imposed from the outside -- and is essentially a political act. The "righty" press seems to forget sometimes that there is any value at all to moral discussion.
