"Companies in the US dont often maintain the same level of quality or safety standards in third world countries. Very often foreign copmanies are known to take advantage of the lax in enforcement of regulations when it comes to cutting corners and it is especially true of US companies operating overseas in third world countries where corruption is rampant."

Of course they do. But your comment was that they violated INDIAN safety rule.

"The Union Carbide which operated in Bhopal was not exactly well known for their "fantastic" safety standards."

Prove it.

There is indeed some problems with the standards that American firms or Indian firms hired out by them maintain.

For example, there has been a huge problem with customer data being stolen by employees of outsourcing sweat shops in India. If US companies cannot alter the culture and prevent such thefts they need to pull out and let the third worlders stew in their own corruption.
