1. Why are we supporting the dictator Mubarak?

He'll either be dead or in exile soon, we might as well support the democratic aspirations of the Egyptian people. Viva la Revolucion!

[KansDem]

2. Haven't we always supported dictators?

I didn't think much about it in my younger days, but now I have these predilection to think "If we're supporting ____, then he must be bad."

And I used to think members of the three branches of US government were "the best and the brightest"...

3. what I would like to know is

where are all the republican talking head who criticized Obama for not supporting the Iranian revolution loud enough? I guess this time, they all with Obama and his administration in keeping quiet about this one. Dictators are a O K if they allies of the US, if not, then they are dangerous
