A shortlist of dictators supported by the USA:
* King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz, Saudi Arabia
* Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan
* Idriss Deby, Chad
* Teodoro Obiang Nguema, Equatorial Guinea
* Gurbanguly Berdymuhammedov (Turkmenistan)
* Paul Biya, Cameroon
* Hosni Said Moebarak, Egypt
* Joseph Museveni, Uganda
*etc... etc. etc..
Also dozens of right-wing dictatorships during the cold war, including horrible regimes.
Here's a picture of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam in support of the Iraq-war against Iran. Later in the war, Iraq used gas against civilian peoples.
People with ideas like you have, A Theist, are a threat to your country!!
Isn't there video of McCain shaking hands with Gaddaffi? In all fairness to the right wing nuts. I really don't think out of the entire planet we can avoid contact with assholes. China's communist party isn't exactly for political pluralism nor is it good on human rights issues.
I do get what you are saying. But global politics isn't as simple as "always or never". It would be nice if we could nuke the world of all dictators and never have to deal with them, but we cant.
