Policies Of Saddam Hussein And Sese Mobutu

Why were some brutal dictators like Sese Seko of Zaire (Congo) allowed to reign freely, while others like Hussein and Quadafi were killed?

You’re assuming that all dictators are alike in being dictators, and that therefore the comparison itself will somehow generate an answer. But the circumstances which gave rise to each dictator are different, thus, their mid-term careers and ultimate fates will also be different.If you have a more specific question in mind, for example, about who or what might remove dictators from power, then you should reformulate the question. As it stands, it isn’t really answerable.Update: My answer drew a comment to the effect that the questioner apparently had to watch what he said in questions lest he be caught up by people telling him he was being anti-American. My comment on that has now been added to the answer.But by focussing on only those two examples you risk precisely the same response, i.e., that you are trolling for anti-American comments and approvals. My answer was indeed predicated on my guess that there was a (scarcely) hidden anti-American agenda. There are of course many many anti-American websites you can consult to get their take on events, but for myself, I would focus more on the work of scholars than of journalists, and those are mostly found in university libraries rather than on the internet. People think that the internet contains everything, but while it contains a lot, it tends to bottom out fairly quickly, or rather, it tends to be repetitive, that is, the same unverified stories copied and pasted from blog to blog without being checked for accuracy. In short, being “anti-American” is not likely to lead you to any deep knowledge, but merely link you up with others who share the same views, in short, it will put you in an echo chamber.The bigger risk is that by looking for commonalities premised on a particular political point of view, you miss the way in which the foreign policies of various nations fluctuate over time. The American experiment, now over 200 years old, is a noble one. But like all human endeavours, it has had, and will continue to have, mixed results. As Churchill is reputed to have said, “Democracy is the worst system of government – except for all the others.” And the important word in the quotation is “all.”One final point: Quora is for sharing knowledge, not for seeking approval for one’s particular prejudices, but, like all human endeavours, it has had, and will continue to have, decidedly mixed results.

Why is there so much hate in America?

The world has a huge technical and social vulnerability towards direct manipulation - social media and the Internet.Divisiveness is being used by multiple parties towards their benefit. The press, and other advertising driven platforms are benefiting by running any number of stories that blend reporting with editorial. Various politically inclined organizations are making use of the platform using direct or overt means, as well as indirect and clandestine means (various blogs and ‘news sites’ that are utilized to sway public opinion through partisan hate stoking).It is incredibly easy to reuse the same or similar content on multiple sites, designed to appear credible and also to amplify the visibility of what is being presented.The vast majority of ‘users’ on the Internet do not think about the ease of creation or distribution of this content or that there could be those that are doing so specifically to manipulate public opinion.Do not also forget that the ‘so much hate’ problem is in itself a form of disruption. The more time people engage with it, the more likely they are to be influenced by it.The short form answer is that hate is being stoked and not naturally occuring.
