The trouble is that they might get confused between overthrowing our stalwart allies in the war against terrorism like Mubarek and start thinking that there is no real difference between a dictator for life and a government that relects the same group of millionaire business leaders every year or one where the same bunch of toffs from the same few fancy schools get to be in charge.
Suppose you have a 'democratic' country where the same party has been in power since independance.
The party leaders have got rich by telling everyone else the country is booming - when it was all a property scam.
Now they have 30% youth unemployment and are cutting school and college funding to pay for it.
They were quiet happy to support terrorists in another country for their own political gains - they might want to start worrying about where the next car bomb will be placed.
