Sure. Then you could add him to your list of evil dictators the Bush's do business with, right?
More nebulosity from the right. Evil Dictators are not elected by the popular vote. You must be thinking of Mushareff.
He was elected in a popular democratic vote. We didn't like the fact that the poor elected a socialist over the right wing rich oil owners. So we may have tried to assasinate him. When there was the civil uprising we jumped on the wrong side before the facts were in and pissed him off more. It was a total screw up from the Bushies one more time.
What right do we have to say what kind of government another country should elect?
Instead of telling him to piss off, we could have won him over to our side before he went to Castro et al. But no, he is a socialist. Doesn't matter if he was fairly elected the first time, we don't honor what the people of his country wanted. Socialism always fails. We could have just waited and sold them all our jeans and coca cola and let them become good capitlists.
The diplomacy of not talking to people you don't like is simply stupid. He could be our buddy right now and not in the pocket of Castro.
At least he was elected. Didn't Mushareff take over with a military coup?
