Hey! We can kill two birds with one stone! Since UBS is handling investments in Dubai, we can take out two US Corporate (criminal) tax havens at once!

secret bank accounts, tax havens, class war, business as usual ...

One of the things you learn in History class when you're growing up, is how Switzerland remained at peace through two world wars because they remained neutral through those conflicts, and rarely does anyone bother to ask: if that strategy could have worked, why didn't anyone else think of that strategy? That view is absolute nonsense, and if anyone bothers to question this, they are given an equally nebulous answer about how noone wants to take on the Swiss army-- like they are some crack Moussad-type outfit-- and there's absolutely no way of telling what kind of army they have because they haven't fought a single war in at least a century! There's usually some vague, muttered reference to Swiss Army Knives, like an army of lederhosen-clad über-warriors brandishing corkscrews are going to drive off a German blitzkrieg!
