I don't think your post makes any sense, David. Harrah's is in the gambling business, which many Americans feel is immoral. I am unaware of any morality distinction that has been drawn between Internet gambling and casino gambling.

You're right about the no moral distinction but casino gambling is legal in the US. Go re-read the marijuana analogy, sums it up pretty well.
Do you know of any US businesses that knowingly engage in something that is considered legal in that area but illegal in the US (besides Blackwater)?

Casino gambling is legal in very few places in the US, it is illegal in the rest due to morality issues. US businesses used to engage in bribery all the time overseas, it was only when overseas bribery was outlawed in the United States that they stopped doing it (at least as much). Every US company produces goods overseas so that they can do so in countries without minimum wage laws, child labor laws and stringent environmental regulations. US companies engage in price-fixing in countries where the practice is not banned (and in many where it is as well). I'm sure there are 10,000 other examples out there.
