Embezzling funds: when it is acceptable and when it is not

"In a surprise move this month, prosecutors presented records of a bank account opened in 1999 in Mr. Taylor’s name, with deposits adding up to more than $14 million." $14 million? Are you kidding me? That was a surprise to the lousy court? How much money did US puppets in Zaire and the Philippines among other places siphon off? And one bribe by Prince Bandar is (allegedly) more than billion. And you now feign outrage at the $14 million? One pro-US minister in the Lebanese government embezzles that much in one year.
