Added Transparency International to recommended links.
One of the greatest obstacles to justice, and therefore to peace, around the world is bribery and other cronyist corruption. If the US wants to show a good face to the world
and ameliorate these obstructions to justice, it should subsidize and finance the prosecution of bribe payers and bribe takers in the countries where such crimes occur.
The cost of prosecution is prohibitive in countries of modest resourses. The return on such an investment to the United States could be considerable, especially in regard to the respect of ordinary people toward the US.
Transparency International has focused on the corruption issue.
