...not that those two were any cups of tea...and, certainly, I have 
a big problem with MMY making comments about ANYTHING to do with 
world politics but the two dictators above (both supported by the 
USA) were examples of dictators who were replaced by worse: the Shah 
was replaced by the current Islamic Theocracy and Somosa by the 
murderous and Marxist Sandanistas (whose leader at the time, Daniel 
Ortega, to his credit, has now denounced Marxism and has embraced 
free markets).
