Also, I'm pretty sure Mobuto was not anti-left but anti-anything-against-him. He chummed up with the CCP real fast when the West left him.
Mobutu took over a Congo that was started to assert itself and keep their mineral wealth -- the west was alarmed and supported Mobutu's takeover from Lumumba. Mobutu enriched himself and foreign corporations leaving the DRC as the mess it is today. Somehow I think the socialist Lumumba would've done a better job.
Pinochet and Suharto should;ve been tried at the The Hague for crimes against humanity.,
It didn't help the economy one bit either, and they left us with a massive debt.
Good idea for a quiz though. There are plenty more dictators out there but I guess the problem is picking ones people will recognise.
You should accept spelling variations of names of Brezhnev and Assad.
All of that being said, there are dictators that have been friendly to the US or that the US worked with when they deemed it to be in their own interests or the best interests of international order. Those already pointed out, plus Suharto, and (at times) also Stalin and Noriega. Not to mention those not on the quiz such as the AlSauds, Khalifas, Thanis, Batista, the Shah, and numerous others. There are plenty.
I was wondering why he is on that list.
Come on, do you really think that this is a valid argument?
