Pericles you could go all kinds of directions with what a major bank in a country does.
And that aside, being a neutral country I assumed it was free to trade with whoever it liked as if nothing were wrong (particularly considering most of the German-speaking countries were on the Axis side), as opposed to remain equally isolated from every country participating in the conflict until the war was declared finished?

To top it off, all of us who drive or catch public transport are equally (if not more, as we ourselves are actually doing it) as guilty if our vehicles are using oil imported from the Middle East (as most of the revenue goes into the very most brutal dictatorships in the world).

Or even blaming Australia overall for selling wheat to Saddam Hussein's Iraq, as an evil nation for centuries to come?

You beat me to it Pericles.

When any accolades are being handed out for morality, I'd put old George way ahead of the entire Swiss country & it's people. In fact the Swiss would have to be last in line.

Any people who can happily benefit from hiding & protecting the wealth of the worst dictators, & criminals, on earth are the last who have any right to point the finger.

Come King Hazza, while I congratulate you on understanding what Individual said I can not defend the Swiss.
They still prosper on the Gold from dead Jewish teeth, and hide Trillions of dollars stolen from the worlds poor.
In this matter, breaking a law of that country ,having sex without a condom?
The Swiss are as contemptible as the Americans, freedom of speech is under attack, reporters too.
Sadly that ex Aussie media owner, the one who had reporters listening in to the Royal family's phones, has now resorted to asking the White house can we publish this?
We MUST never convict whistle blowers for telling us the truth.

Pericles you are judging all Swiss people by the past actions of their leaders.It is like saying all Jews are Zionists or all Germans are Nazis.The facts are Bush illegally permitted torture and also invaded Iraq on a lie.He brought in the Patriot Act nullifing habeas corpus.

The USA is not far from being a facist state and we are not far behind.

The USA is not far from being a facist state and we are not far behind.
Arjay,
I assume you meant fascist, as in those who claim to be antifascist but once in power become so dictatorial & incompetent as to make a genuine fascist feel inadequate & blush..

Individual:Nit picking on the spelling of facist or fascist does not change the reality.Nor your itellectual snobbery define the truth.

We in Australia have sedition laws which are much like Bush's Patriot Act.You can be defined as a terrorist and incarcerated infinetly without trial.Has the penny dropped yet?
