Supporting dictators is as American as apple pie! It's SO much easier for our corporations to cut deals with dictators than with troublesome, fractious democracies! There's just ONE person we have to grease in a dictatorship: omnicenter.org "U.S. State Department Policy Planning Study #23, 1948: " Our real task... is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity [U.S. military- economic supremacy]... To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming... We should cease to talk about vague and...unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization... we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better." George Kennan, Director of Policy Planning. U.S. State Department. 1948"
