Again with the non sequiturs You start with "True. Tim hasn't met a tyrant [who also practices capitalism] he doesn't like!" Or in other words you assert that I like every tyrant who's country has a capitalist economy (and who isn't trying to push it towards socialism). As argument for that idea bring up the idea of complaining against the US support of "Mubarak of Pakistan". Ignoring 1 - Musharraf is President of Pakistan, Mubarak is in Egypt. 2 - Not complaining to your congressman about a policy, doesn't mean you support the policy. 3 - Supporting a policy of backing a dictator in a certain situation doesn't mean you like the dictator. For the record I am no fan of either Mubarak or Musharraf, or the leadership of Turkestan, or the Saudi princes. Now if in your world - "Tim hasn't met a tyrant [who also practices capitalism] he doesn't like!" means "Tim sometimes accepts a government policy of supporting a dictator when its strongly in our national interest to do so", than I can see why you don't consider the statement to be a slur. But if your not speaking English can you please direct me to a place where I can learn the language you do speak...
