AMERICAN FRIENDLY DICTATORS:

There are great beauties to American-friendly dictators:

-- they can be bought (difficulties with selling, though)
-- they are often ruthless and can DELIVER what you want
-- when their time is up they can be pensioned off to exile and a new deal made with the next incumbent

It is MUCH more efficient than dipomacy, which takes a lot of time and the people with whom you are negotiating are DIFFICULT because they think they are are actually IN CHARGE of their little corner of the world.

AMEWRICAN-FRIENDLY DICTATORS on the other hand:

-- know what you want
-- haggle only about the price
-- only want you to leave them alone while they bring their part of the world "in-line"

Thus is the process of democracy advanced in the world through the "AMERICAN WAY".

Except for Communist pinko bleeding-heart liberal traitors who could possible be interested in diplomacy when a MUCH MORE EFFICIENT SYSTEM (tried and proven) is available?

Only lackies of Saddam Hussein and bin Laden, of course!

Namaste!

Jim
