Looks like some countries Like The United States have taken that "law" even further to protect themselves in ensuring a good flow of oil and revenues for shareholders of American companies like Haliburton.
I can see how a notion like this can be perpetuated with a biblical "god" character that murders children for "his" kicks is obeyed as a cult leader.
So many contradictions. At this rate the "lamb will never lay down with the lion."
