Dictators

Sometimes it appears that Iraq was better off with Saddam in charge but there is no way to be sure. Some think that Iran may fall prey to a civil war and maybe that would be a good thing. The Syrian Civil War started in 2011 and since that time 400,000 have died, 5.7 million have left the country and 6.3 million have been displaced. Once dictators get power there seems to be no way of getting rid of them without disastrous results. Venezuela is currently in the throws of dumping a dictator. One common thread for a successful ousting of dictators is to get the army to join the people as happened in Romania when the Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife were executed.
