Now that Mubarak is falling, FP has come up with names of other dictators who are imposed on their people by the US, including Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia and Yoweri Museveni of Uganga. Isn't there more we need to know? It is strange how we prize democracy here in the US but hoist dictatorships on others. Nicholas Kristof poignantly asks: "Why does our national policy seem to be that democracy is good for Americans and Israelis, yet dangerous for Egyptians?"
Plus: Mubarak's insane wealth.
