Should Rolls Royce get in trouble for supporting the Nazi war effort? I'm asking honestly. I don't know how to feel about business responsibility in time of war or conflict. Is the responsibility to the state or to what the entity decides is right? Should Caterpillar be supporting actions condemed by a world court? Is their supplying the duldozers considered support?

As far as I'm concerned, they should supply them stuff until the people who disagree with their actions decide to stop buying from Caterpillar. That's how responsible consumers should act. If you disagree with a companies decisions, then don't give them money.
What statute of limitations are we talking about here? Is a company not responsible for it's actions because they took place a while back?
If I killed someone 10 years ago, did I still kill someone? Do people come back to life after a few decades? *If* they did this, then they should be punished, right?
So, becaue Haliburton is associated with anti-Bush sentiment, then it is obviously a fundamentally flawed argument and isn't even worth discussion. Excellent. Maybe we should also stop discussing other favorites suych as WMDs or the war in Iraq. That should make Politics a much easier place to be in.
Do you shop at Walmart?
Not simply because it makes SUVs, but because of the SUVs they make.
