i'm sorry but yur wrong. The US is supporting diplomatic programs all over the world, including in dictatorships, supporting the people and their dissenting voices. There is plenty of evidence of the US supporting dissidents in not only Egypt but all over the arab world.

Yes we have to deal with those dictatorships while they have power, but we are always supporting democracy behind the scenes as well.

It's not black and white. And i think you know that. don't play dumb with me.
