Who's the guy who wrote THE PERFECT STORM? Hunk of a journalist who travels the world for stories and adventure. He did a televiison piece...can't remember which network....describing how UN soldiers frequent prostitutes in Bosnia, prostitutes who are in bondage to their pimps. I believe he mentioned they were from Russia.
I do think it's important to distinguish between shady dealings between worldwide mafia rings and "wink & nod" politicians from the far east and middle eastern countries, and careful not to label entire governments corrupt because of a few bad dudes.
