Less often - 12%
More often - 18%

dictators with a slighty more liberal view of rock 'n' roll and dress codes who torture and kill their opponents
I think Assad and Saddam would even let their opponents go once they'd finished torturing them sometimes.
Bayard,
Well, unless you can help put a Shah in office.
Steven_L,
No, they were brutal bastards. But the alternatives are also brutal bastards. But they are better in certain other ways.
No? I'm sure I've read about people who have been locked up and tortured in Saddam's Iraq / Assad's Syria and then later released a while down the line.
Steven_L,
Sorry. You might be right. I'm just making a general point that I'm not too worried about the brutality of a regime in the Middle East because they're all at it (The problems of the Middle East is that they are still land-based economies, so unsurprisingly act like land-based economies used to be in Europe).
"Well, unless you can help put a Shah in office."
That sort of thing was precisely where we went wrong last time.
