U.S.A. and I know how we'd react - we just kicked his party out of the majority in the legislature.

I may be going out on a limb here, but to remove a genocidal dictator who has been proven to kill people of different beliefs than him and hold everyone in the country under his thumb?

a dictator comes to power from the outside,military or sometimes elected and then thake total control, a monarchy come to power through bloodlines, kings ,queens, princes,etc. and hands it down to the next generation. Most believe the were given the absolute rigt to rule from god. the outcome from both is always the same, the rule through fear

A very nice country with an interesting culture and people, suffering badly due to the terrible dictatorship of Musharraf.\nA nation suffering under a dictator supported by the stablishment, by first world politicians and multinational corporations, all for the sake of private profit.

Several years ago, in Romania, the public got their retribution on their dictator, Nicolai Ceaucescu, by shooting the worthless bastard. Also, Diem of South Vietnam got the same treatment for being corrupt and useless. Mussolini of Italy, same deal. All these worthless, corrupt bastards in our government and in the business sector should think long and hard about who they are putting the screws to and who pays their wages.

i haven't heard of that yet, but it would not suprise me. he does everything else that a tyrant or dictator would do. we secretly live in a police state we just don't recognise it.

Start a new country. But eventually, even that country will fall victim to the same thing. It's the nature of power. Did you ever hear the saying that power corrupts?

Not enough information in your question to be able to say if I would feel threatened.  It would depend different things.  Is the leadership of the country hostile?  Do they say they want you wiped off of the map?  Is the leadership of the country trustworthy?  Does the leadership of the country have respect for human life and human rights?  Is the country stable?  There are a lot of things that I would need to consider to decide if I was threatened.

It depends what Stalin represents to you. Authority? Repression? Lack of choice?

I am confused at your question. Dictator= Who dictates what you (commoners) say or do. So he/she does not have to believe in freedom of speech. That person won't be a dictator if he/she did. I hope that answered your quesstion.

it would not affect my thinking one bit. \n\nI have served my time. i would do it again. ASAP. If my country needed me. It is about time the "trash-talkers" bucked up and earned a little freedom.

How would you feel if some foregion nation came in and invaded and installed their puppet?

It depends on what the war is about.  If the war is to free them from a socialist dictator then they might be extremely happy that it's happening.  Thus they feel sad that they have to leave their home, but are happy to return when the tyrant is taken out and freedom is returned to their homeland.\n\nBut if the tyrant is taking over their free country, they'd probably want to stay and fight for their freedom.  In which case they wouldn't be a refugee at all.

he is not a dictator since he has been freely elected (versus the traditional means of dictatorial takeover - military coup).  his relative behavior and how dictatorial it is or isn't is for each voter to decide.\n\nlying to justify war is a hallmark of many different types of regimes, not just dictators.

Yeah, I was pretty offended by the 21 gun salute for the abusive dictator.  Guess it just proves that China is playing a bigger role in the world, and that we are anxious to court their support.  But I'm pretty consistently disappointed in our president going along with this injustice.  Sadly, most people don't seem at all concerned that we're supportive of a government like China's that still kills and imprisons people without cause.
