US Support to Musharaf is so similar to Supporting Shah of Iran ?

Question

Supporting a dicatator always fire back on US!

Answer 1

very very similar, it cant be bad luck nor bad karma.. it's bad US officials , and uneducated leaders trashing US.

Answer 2

Yes.
And sometimes not supporting a dicatator comes back to haunt us.

We may pay dearly for a hundred years because Carter stabbed the Shah in the back.
Carter was an idiot. That was his biggest mistake. Well........

He did make good cheese to give away.

Answer 3

Oil, undemanding and easy. U.S. and Brits have been tousled in the oil corporation in the Mideast for some years. Brits all started all this. Churchill replaced into key, initially. Later, Truman refused to contain the U.S. yet, later, Eisenhower settle for Brit BS that they could turn Commies if U.S. did no longer help. U.S. have been given tousled in Iran and then with Israel and now Iraq and Afghanistan. difficulty in Lebanon, too. no longer something yet difficulty and debt and lifeless infantrymen. Bunch of crap. sufficient is sufficient. Carter tried to alter issues yet would desire to no longer. commencing with Kermit Roosevelt and, later, Casey, the CIA has offered bum documents and suggestion so as that they'd play 007 video games.

Answer 4

Yes, you are the big winner! Every time we back someone who is a dictator because we are afraid someone else will be less "pro-US", we find out everyone who was anti-dictator is now, magically, anti-US. And it always makes us look like idiots when we try to bring democracy to some dictator-dominated countries but turn a blind eye to others due to our own interests - really disgusting and one of the reasons most international citizens think we are morons and hypocrites - and they are correct, in terms of our national policy, because we claim one motive, then fail to act on it uniformly. We are very self-interested in the US and our foreign policy shows it. We can't even respond the same way to genocides! Our government makes us all look like idiots.

Answer 5

Interesting parallel.

The problem is we can't control that region and we've never been able to. And we are batting 100% on backing the wrong regime at any given time.

Answer 6

Like the Shaw of Iran you need to evaluate the alternative to Musharaf. Perhaps if you think the Shaw and Musharaf are so bad you should try to live in Iran and see how it goes for you. Let us know if it works...that is if they let you post on YA.
