These links point to items that I consider illustrate some core sins of the nations of the world. Each nation is guilty, and for those that believe in a final judgment, these items may certainly be on 'the list' of sins for reckoning. The sins of the leaders of the nations that cause or allow certain things to happen are great. The sins of the people who don't rise in indignation to demand change are great as well. No one gets off. No personal salvation frees anyone of the responsibility.
For the sins we have committed by placing greed above life: Halliburton, Blackwater, no-bid contracts—the privatization of the war in Iraq is hardly news anymore. But Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers, a new documentary on the financial and ethical excesses of private military contractors, still hits home. The film argues that a handful of contractors—Blackwater USA, CACI International , Halliburton, Titan, Parsons, Dyncorp International, and Transatlantic Traders—are over-charging the government for shoddy work, and that they've endangered the lives of American soldiers and private citizens in their pursuit of profit.
