So was Bush. Cruel Dictator could be applied to either of these men. And a person could play devil's advocate and say either is legit. It's not that there are no moral absolutes, it's that no one will agree on any.

And?

In today's world it is much more illogical to choose the route of the dictator and would also worsen the Iranian situation (on an international scale) considerably worse.

Also a Dictator is where they have superior power over the nation and that's not Ahmadinejad that's the Ayatollah
