Ignoring 1 - Musharraf is President of Pakistan, Mubarak is in Egypt. Yup. My mistake. 2 - Not complaining to your congressman about a policy, doesn't mean you support the policy. What does that mean? 3 - Supporting a policy of backing a dictator in a certain situation doesn't mean you like the dictator.<?I> Do you understand when I said "like" I didn't mean you liked him in some friendship way? I would hardly expect that since you have never met. I meant that you support him in the way you suggest in item 3 above. 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. This is the way I meant the statement. But if your not speaking English can you please direct me to a place where I can learn the language you do speak... You've lost me.
