                    [Summary] => 



Saddam Hussein was ignominiously executed finally the other week and earlier Chile’s Pinochet died in bed. These deaths, by no means, mark the end of dictatorship in this new century or even in the next. Dictators were with us in the ancient world as emperors, as monarchs "anointed" by heaven, as bulldozer politicians and ideologues, and they will be with us in the future for as long as societies are weak and the iron compulsion to shape them into strong states exists.
