re: #220 Alexzander

Yes, and Saddam, Noriega, Pinochet, Mobutu, Baby Doc, Suharto, Batista and many others. I’m not saying I agree with this, I was just explaining why the US does it (at least, my understanding of why the US does it).

Fair enough - the explanation of “self-interest” was what was offered, no doubt. But I think it’s also fair to say that explaining that we supported the folks on that list out of self-interest is a bit facile.
