(62,325 posts)allies who are Dictators, considering we claim to always be saving people from 'dictators'.
Why is the Dictatorship of Uzbekistan an ally of this country?
How about Saudi Arabia?
Why was the dictator Mubarak an ally of the US?
How about Ben Ami, dictator of Tunisia before he was finally toppled by his own people?
How about Saddam Hussein, an ally of the US for more than thirty years?
Noriega?
Pinochet?
What do you think happened to democratically elected leaders in some of those countries when they refuse to give up their resources to Global Corporations?
And why are we sending mending of these Dictators money to buy weapons?
I would suggest that you learn a little about this country over the past six decades. See what we did in Central and South America.
And yes, many of them are our allies because we helped them get rid of their democratically elected leaders and used them as puppets.
It's hard to have to admit, most of us grew up not knowing much about this country's foreign policies.
