On the other hand, i don't think they are running that tight a leash on him.. Did you see him on the daily show? When i saw him there i thought he was making fun of George W Bush.. I'd have to look at that episode again.. But again: i think foreign involvement is only one ingredient for having to resort to despotism. I hope i will finish the second and third (maybe also a fourth) article in this series. The second will hopefully deal with the "self-fulfilling despotism" - the trap itself.. In the last one i'd like to close the circle with a comparison to what can lead democratic countries to become more authoritarian.. @David: i agree.

I think also of the example of Pervez Musharraf in Pakistan. I believe the US will pay a heavy price in the end for supporting him as a loyal soldier in Bush's "Global War on Terror".
