Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I were dictator, I'd have a catch-all crime of disrespect.
Dictators are interesting, no?
Dictators must have enemies. They must have internal enemies to justify their secret police and external enemies to justify their military forces.
Those newspapers of the nation which most loudly cried dictatorship against me would have been the first to justify the beginnings of dictatorship by somebody else.
Obviously, every dictator pays a great deal of attention to who is running the army. There's always a base right outside the capitol to protect the head of government.
Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law.
Sometimes I think that a parody of democracy could be more dangerous than a blatant dictatorship, because that gives people an opportunity to avoid doing anything about it.
It's pretty well known that the CIA has been installing friendly dictators around the world for years.
I am sometimes accused of being a dictator because I provoked the extraordinary elections by nominating the interim government. Can you imagine any dictator who provokes free elections in his own country?
Dictators are ludicrous characters, and, you know, in my career and in my life, I've always enjoyed sort of inhabiting these ludicrous, larger-than-life characters that somehow exist in the real world.
