so heres the definition of a dictator (taken from dictionary.com):
dictator
n 1: someone who rules unconstrained by law [syn: potentate] 2: behaves like a tyrant [syn: authoritarian]
so here is a question take 2 leaders...say one is a ruler by virtue of family and passing of "the throne" while the other is a President of a Democratic republic and doesnt listen to the majority of the population in his country...
now which is the real dictator?? |

the real dictator is man who like to make everyone think he is democratically elected..
and then speaks on behalf of an agenda that is set out to dominate the world in the name of so called "freedom"
Vague definition I know. Could be anyone :rolleyes: |

Neither, your question is so vague that you can't definitively say that either of your examples live up to the definition of a dictator.
And yes you should check the polls. |

I do not see how the question is vague...it seems quite clear to me what he is asking. |

| ^^^^^^ Orbax, it's the SUGGESTION of doing good. Does not necessarily mean that they are right just because they believe it. It's like the idea of the belief in a "common good" and who should enforce it. Is there even such an idea? That's where I see a problem...just because he has good intentions does not mean he can do what he wants regardless of the objections of others. |
