At what point is simply saying "Well, we have to go along or we
can't make a buck!" no longer an acceptable excuse? History suggests
that apart from the purely ethical concerns, firms that engage in
this sort of rationalization may face significant exposure and
liabilities down the line.
I think history might suggest the opposite. An awful lot of leading
German firms made poison gas and such during WWII, but they're still
around today. IBM sold computers to the old South African government
to administer apartheid.
