36. Another U.S. supported dictatorship, Iran, under the Shah.
How many did he kill? The people rose up as people always do against that dictator. We would be supporting the current government too if it benefited us to do so.

How do you feel about the U.S. support for one of the most brutal dictators, Karamov?

I am hoping now that the U.S. will start switching its support to Democracies like Venezuela as their hypocritical and deadly support for all the dictators currently being deposed is exposed.
