""But as I emphasized last week, the point here is not to object to
US support for the world's worst dictators; it is, instead, to urge that this
reality be acknowledged. Despite this obvious truth - that the US has no
objection whatsoever to tyranny but rather loves and supports it when tyrants
are faithful to its interests - hordes of foreign policy "experts" shamelessly
pretend that the US and its Nato allies are committed to spreading freedom and
democracy and fighting despotism in order to justify every new US and Nato
intervention." (thanks Amir)
