Without outside help most of these dictators would collapse. Why are we giving "aid" to them in the first place? If we are not their friends then why are we doing it? If we are their friends, then why do you think we would not support them? As to the issue of popular uprising, that very much depends on who the leaders of uprising are. This is always the justification for supporting the dictators.
