I do NOT object when the USA finds that a nation is run by a tyrant and they must do business with them.
What I DO OBJECT TO is when the USA topples a legitimate government and then replaces it with our own puppet regime because the current government is not willing to go along with whatever our coprporate masters want from that nation.
And THAT has happened many time in our lifetimes, folks.
Installing the Shah of IRAN back in the early 50's is a stellar example.
Mubarak, is, I think, NOT an example of that. He attained power (as far as I know) without assisteance from our CIA, so as far as us having supported him?
Well, I think we really had no choice in that regard.
Yet the Shah was the Legit ruler, you would not support your own agreements with rulers of a country or do you forget the role Iran played in World War II and that was the Shah's father.
It has been trbal rule in the Middle East for centuries, outside of the Ottomans of course but still at the local level the tribes ruled, or a family ruled from a particular city.
The Shah is the legit ruler, not the religous nuts that still stone to death teenage girls for having sex.
So you are really saying that you know very little of ME history.
