Terror attack in Istanbul, Turkey...

[Agamemnus]

On that note, we liked dictators. They were dictators, brutal disgusting warlords, but support them. It's a US custom to put a dictator in a third world country, and when noone likes him, give another dictator weapons to oust the present one, starting the cycle over. 3 more dictators and we get a free toaster.

Yes, yes. Very true, very true. But it is a difficult and expensive proposition to establish capitalistic democracy instead of dictatorship. It's hard enough establishing democracy in Afganistan and Iraq, for instance. That's only two countries. The US had to deal with many more back in the cold war. Also, with new technology and organizational ideas, it is now much easier to establish capitalistic democracy than dictatorship. It's also impossible to find a good dictator nowadays. . .
