Egypt: Mubarak Worth More Than $70 Billion

The U.S. doesn't PUT them into power. They rise to power and we back they because the alternative is worse. Like FDR said about Samozo, "He's a son of a bitch but he's our son of a bitch".

Quote from antitrust:

most dictators are put into power with the help of western intelligence

Mohammad Reza Sha, General Pinochet, Saddam Hussein, and to many others to name.But you can research at cia.gov

These men were funded and/or paramilitary supported by CIA and MI6 clandestine operations. A U.S. puppet dictator is allowed to oppress and rob his country as long as the natural resources get exported and they leave nothing for the people or as bzignew Brzezinski calls them "vassals" of the U.S. Empire is hard work

All of that 70 billion is from U.S. taxpayers and the billions he has skimmed from all the aid we have given that country over the last 30 years. I heard today that the swiss have frozen all his accounts. I hope we can recoup some of those billions but reality tells me that is a pie in the sky wish.

That money should stay with Egypt, not the US

The alternative is worse for the US, not necessarily for the people of that country.

would any other country act differently if they had the power? I really don't think so. We're not angels obviously. When in doubt, we're going to do what's right for the US
