We and others are the free people of the planet, it IS our job to take out
EVERY dictator in the world. Unless of course you have some good reason why
some dictator should be left in power, I'm all ears.. Dictators are not
leaders that the masses follow, they are leaders who force the population
to their will.

We may still be so primitive that we still require a hierarchal form of
leadership, but it doesn't need to be forced upon us. If a population
chooses a dictator that's fine, but they should have the requirement to
choose him again and again so we are always clear it is by choice and not
by force.
