Why US Has Always Been Supporting Monarchs, Dictators?

Diary Entry by Muhammad Khurshid (about the author)

I think everyone in this world is working for his own interest. I think no one should have objection if the United States is working for her own interest. This may be in the interest of the US if she has been supporting monarchs and dictators in the world.

::::::::

Once a US scholar, whose name I have forgotten, was on visit to Peshawar. He was invited to the Peshawar Press Club for a licture. After the licture he opened the forum for questions and anwsers. In that session I have asked qauestion from the US scholar. I have told him that there is impression that Osama bin Laden is the creature of the United States. He accepted the fact and said that yes Osama bin Laden is the creation of the United States, but now he is a threat to the whole world. The whole journalists have delighted over his anwser as at least he accepted the fact.

I am still unclear why the US has always been supporting dictators and monarchs. Just take the example of Pakistan. US always provided support to dictators as they were working for their interest. I am still not clear why former president of Pakistan General Pervez Musharraf was removed from the job as he was also working for the US interest. I have tried my best to find anwser to this question, but I have failed in bid.

There will be no denying the fact the US has still been supporting the monarchs and dictators. Just take the example of Arab world. Why the US has been keeping mum over the lack of democracy in the Arab countries. The reason is obvisious as they have been working for the US interest. But I am still unclear what is the interest of the US.

What is the interest of US? Can someone among you can guide me on this question? If the US wants to take control of the whole world it is already in its control. Now I think this is the moral duty of the US to pressurise the monarchs and dictators to introduce democracy in their countries. All people living in the world have equal rights. Though the US citizens have set an example by electing Barack Obama as their president, but now Obama should sen an example by introducing democracy in the whole world.
