5. The USA elites claim to support democracy but only
if it is the status quo. These leaders we support are just as often despotic rulers. Mubarak has been in power since the 1980s. We bribe him billions (that we don't have) to play happy face with Israel. It has always been about the USA elite supporting despots until the USA elites decide to take out the ruler (as in Saddam) and then the people suffer again (both USA and others).
