Aido, I don't agree.
The people at the top of BP are really guys 'n gals just like you and me. Put us in their place and who says we'd have done any better? Who was it that said: "All power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely..." Well, I agree, to a large extent these peoples reactions are shaped by their powerful positions and the impossible balancing act of influences that this entails.
Just be thankful you are not in their shoes. I know I am. (thankful, that is!) Its alway so easy to "de-humanize" the enemy, but that never solves anything, it doesn't get to the root cause, which is the love of power.
