To be fair that IS what the US has done for about 20 of the last 30
years
too...

...and that's the issue.

If we leave folks like that in place, we're uncaring *******s.

It's not just the leaving them in plcae, itäs the installing of them (e.g.
Pinochet)

If we remove them, we're evil imperialists.

I wouldn't dub anyone an "evil imperialist" for taking out Hussein, I just
find it somewhat galling that we supported him for so long in his chemical
attacks against his enemies and brutal suppression of his population when he
was *our* ******* and then chose to knock him off at his most toothless in
what seems a cynical publicity exercise when OBL couldn't be paraded through
the streets in chains.

Mind you, the almost exclusively US make up of the companies allowed to bid
for rebuilding contracts in Iraq DOES look more than a tiny bit like
imperialism...
