Queen Elizabeth of England, Friend of Autocrats

Now that Queen Elizabeth of England has taken to inviting dictators around the world to help her celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, it is notable that some dictators are missing on her list simply because they are not called kings or queens. This group of aristocrats who cares less about the aspirations of their people but spend more time entrenching themselves in power, like kings and queens do, also merit the kudos from the generous Queen. While she is at it, she could have invited Robert Mugabe, the King of Zimbabwe and her long time friend, Paul biya, the King of Cameroon, a commonwealth country, Yoweri Museveni, the King of Uganda, and many of her autocratic friends in Africa. God save the Queen  - and her autocratic friends!
