Nothing But Politics

I have never heard of sanctions actually getting rid of a dictator before. Of course I don't know about all the sanctions ever imposed. I am basing this on the Iraq situation and Cuba. Anything less than getting rid of the dictator is not enough in my opinion. From what I understand, a lot of anti-American sentiment from the Arab world is based on past and in some cases present U.S. support for Arab dictators and until there are no more dictators in the Arab world and widespread poverty is eradicated, we will have problems. Of course, if the dictator in question actually thinks of his people first and takes care of them, then I guess it would be a different situation. I just don't know of any like that.
