Local tyrants who fell out of favor with the American Empire, with all their brutality and cruelty, are better antagonists of the masses than the American Empire and its new lackeys, for the simple reason that the latter have bigger guns & more ammunitions and are thus harder for the masses to overthrow and expel. -- Yoshie
