We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction.
To understand why dictators have a problem with making peace - or at least a genuine peace - the link between the nature of a regime and its external behavior must be understood.
It is hard to look the other way when a dictator is being so cruel and violent with his own people.
We have a war dictator who was not elected, he snuck in. so he punishes people that threaten him in any way, or even say something he doesn't like. It has no resemblance to democracy.
Dictatorships start wars because they need external enemies to exert internal control over their own people.
Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law.
In a free world there is, alas, more common crime than in a dictatorial system.
Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear.
Dictators must have enemies. They must have internal enemies to justify their secret police and external enemies to justify their military forces.
Democracies are indeed slow to make war, but once embarked upon a martial venture are equally slow to make peace and reluctant to make a tolerable, rather than a vindictive, peace.
