Really, this whole thread is a testimony to how easy it is to slide into a dictatorship or fascism.
The only time when morality matters is when it is challenged. If you de-humanize others - no matter who - you are also de-humanizing yourself and that road leads fairly directly into hell.
I've spent enough time with people who spent time in those hells to recognize the prelude to one.
I strongly suggest you study up on the person of 'El Presidente' a little bit more before you come out in defense of this person. A couple of hours reading might sway you to the position that this person is going to cause absolutely nothing but trouble (and in fact, is already causing it).
I was merely mentioning that you might not win the argument with the way you were responding before.

I'm assuming here you're talking about some particular South American dictator, but perhaps you could elaborate?
It's fairly obvious you have no frame of reference to judge the people that elected this president, for better or for worse, and what conditions have led them to such measures.
You'd be surprised what thoughts enter your mind when you live in conditions with constant danger and stark prospects. But you'd have to have experienced it, which you obviously haven't.
