I hate how people always think of dictators as evil tyrants.
If the dictator was killing people, its the same as giving a murderer the death penalty. An eye for an eye. If he's a bad ruler and its a time of crisis (ie: attack from other nations), and the dictator can't properly protect the country, I think that might be neccessary for the survival of the entire country. Overthrow the dictator and put a new one up. However, in real life it would be way more complicated than just that. But if the dictator is just annoying, then no. Thats just stupid. Saddam Hussein = A dictator. Saddam Hussein =/= All dictators. Ever hear about the Roman Empire? After the republic, a dictator came into power. He set the Roman Empire on its path to its golden age and then stepped down. Yeah. I just felt that had to be said, for the definitions sake. Dictators can be good too. |
