Anastasio Somoza Garcia
Somoza was the dictator ruler of Nicaragua from 1936 to 1956, when he was assassinated. A nice 20 year run, where with the assistance of US, he centralized all the powers in his hands and everyone lived happily ever after.
Roosevelt is supposed to have said "Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he is our son of a bitch". This has been denied and no official record has been found to support the claim that Roosevelt said anything of the kind. The sentiment behind this has been consistent, and the US has fostered people like Somoza all over the world. The list includes Shah of Iran, Noriega, Zia ul Haq, etc. etc.
This expression was used by three journalists of the Daily Telegraph in their report about Pakistan and its dictator, after which they were kicked out of the country. The President of Pakistan wants them to apologize. They should not have called him a son of a bitch, but a puppet dictator of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. I think that would have gone down better.
In the meanwhile, civilians can now be tried under a court-martial. This is by presidential decree which is retrospective starting from 2003. Takes care of all the beardos we shipped out to Camp X-ray and other places.
Brilliant, I just hope dictators read history, even if they don't like called being sons of bitches.

hey, if the tag fits, the truth always hurts:)...like the rest of the sob's in power, propped up by the usa, musharraf is just doing the job, he get's paid to do.
getting some bearded wonders of the streets, mmmm,...might not be a bad idea
Its the principle of getting anyone off the streets, thats what I am against. You can't sell people off to the highest bidder, regardless of what they have done. The FL aka SOAB claimed that he was being paid top dollar by our yankee friends for the beardos
