It is not a question of nationality, but question of Moral Responsibility.
Curiously alike Bhopal Gas Tragedy in India, media has been sympathetic(It is a different matter in India when they are shrill about the criminal negligence of Union Carbide).In fact media has been attacked when documentary maker tried to film the BP Oil spill.
UK must realize that Corporate companies are normal citizens(?) and they should never be allowed to take umbrage under the cloak of Nationality.
Obama is Right.
Story:
Barack Obama has told Prime Minister David Cameron that criticism of BP over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has “nothing to do with national identity”.
In a 30-minute phone call, the US president said he recognised BP was a multinational company and he had no interest in undermining its value.
