quotations about dictators
Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what it is you want to hear.
ALAN COREN
attributed, The Mammoth Book of Great British Humor
If you have noticed most of the world's dictators are not very handsome men. For instance Castro looks like a ZZ Top wannabe, Mussolini looks like one of the Seven Dwarfs and the guy from North Korea looks like his shorts are way too tight for him. Their homeliness makes them want to rule the world or host a game show.

When you turn on the news
And a dictator smiles at you?

Power manipulators, conspirators, dictators
Drive the people underground
But we'll rise up through the ashes,
To stand where light can find us
In every nation, every land
