Hey, I didn't say that it was the "best" or "right" course of action. I don't think anyone in the state dept would claim that this strategy is a lasting solution. At the same time, over history, the US has found a viable puppet to stand in and play "leader" in destabilized third world countries at least for a little while.

You bring up the Shah and he played ball too well for his own good. He wasn't a US find but we certainly endorsed him for the 30 some odd years he was in power.
