Those guys aren't destroying THEIR people. They want to keep THEIR tribe happy and compliant.

Really? We must be reading different news. Does the name, Robert Mugabe ring a bell? What about Rwanda? Hutu's and Tutsi's? Government sanctioned genocide. Here's a list of African dictators.HERE

My opinion stands.

I didn't say there was no genocide, just that Mugabe doesn't want to wipe out people loyal to hime or people that he can subjugate. Hutu's don't commit genocide against Hutu's. Tutsi's don't commit genocide against Tutsi's. Hitler aimed to exterminate Jews, not "his people." I ceratinly don't dispute the existence of despotic and evil rulers, and if that is the extent of your point, well, I agree.

And I stand by my original assertion, "No government, no matter how despotic, is out to destroy it's people." It may make examples out of some via shredder, public execution, terror or other methods, but it does so in order to subjugate and obtain loyalty from the rest. Once all of the people in a country are destroyed, the ruler will be all alone, powerless to control others.
