Jeez, lobbyists in DC are doing bribes everyday. Every nation in the world does bribes aka donations. Everyone scratches backs. The trick is to give bribes in other countries to the "better" government people, rather than bribe everyone across the board. (I bet World Vision has a list of ethcial and non-ethical people in Cambodia that they do deals with). Heck, you could even take over Hybrid cars to use for bribes and that would have a good effect. Cash bribes are not as good as a general rule.
But if you want to get rid of the child sex trade, then you have to support ethical people in the Cambodian government and support US presidential runners who actually care about poor countries. Namely women Senators and congresswomen. They seem to be on the forefront of change against sex-trafficking.
