There is no good dictator and there never was a good dictator, perhaps, some dictator was more benevolent than was another dictator but the, fact of the matter was and is that the only one that wants to live under any dictator is the dictator himself or herself.

I think that it is troubling when an intelligent being says that some people some where because of their culture or religion or their heritage or their history or their education or their lack of education naturally means that those people cannot or will not be able to understand that a good democratic form of government is better to live under than is there in-place autocratic or dictatorial form of government that is holding them hostage now.

You can go to any country in the world and ask the most illiterate people there in a very private location if after explaining to them what the basic concept of democracy is that if they would rather live democratically or under that dictator they would choose to live under democracy.

A bad or a terrible democratic despot is not any better for anyone to live under, either. However, it is not fair to say that a democratic form of government is going to lead any country to live under such a despot until at least that country is given a fair chance at making its own wishes felt. Some democratic governments though not perfect by a long shot are better than any dictatorship ever was and some democratic governments need a lot of improvement to make them as good as it possibly can be.

I think that anybody that lives in America and in all other free and democratic countries of the world should make their business to see to it that all countries that are living under some form of dictatorship should at least get the chance to chose for themselves what kind of a government they wish to live under. I think if we were forced to live under a dictator for one day in our lives that we would soon hurry on back to our own democratic shores as fast as our legs could carry us.

Yes, I don’t want Americans or Canadians or Australians and all of those other democratic run countries to lose their or our lives in some third world country somewhere or another but isn’t it also true that if it were us or our family and our friends who were being brutally oppressed wouldn’t we want someone to come to their and our rescue?
