After saddam hussein’s forces were defeated in iraq and driven from kuwait, the us and allied leaders had a decision to make. saddam hussein was a brutal dictator who victimized his own people and was proven to be willing to engage in warlike activities with neighboring nations. at the same time, the people of iraq were divided along religious and ethnic lines. without a strong leader, the country might devolve into chaos. us leaders decided to keep saddam hussein in charge of iraq with severe limits on iraq’s military. it was thought that the instability that might arise without a strong leader in iraq was worse than hussein’s brutal rule.

put yourself in the difficult position of making the decision as to whether to remove a dictator from the control of an unstable country. what arguments could be made for removing the dictator? what arguments could be made for keeping the dictator in power?

according to pennfoster, a good answer should contain the following:

possible answers:

for keeping the dictator

the chaos that surrounds an unstable nation without a strong leader could lead to widespread civil war.
terrorist groups could come to power without a strong central government.
for removing the dictator

the dictator should be stopped from harming his own people and others.
allowing the dictator to stay in power might encourage others in the world to act in horrible ways to gain power.
the people of the nation might now be free to decide their own form of government.

answer:

explanation: the reasons for removing a dictator from his leadership is the freedom in people's choices. it is a form of government in which one person or little group have absolute power without any constitutional limitations. this is the most important argument against a dictatorship and what causes suppression of basic civil liberties. also, dictators usually use force and/or fraude to gain their political power and maintain it through intimidation.

however, to take the power off the dictator is a difficult thing because it usually it is happening in a weak social and political environment, which actually allows dictatorship to happen in the first place.

for this reason, we could name some of the arguments for keeping a dictator in power:

whether we like it or not, this dictatorship somehow is holding the state together, so the intervention has to be well organized and study the social environment before the ending.

the intervention can cause a big chaos and a protracted conflict can lead, as in this specific case, into hundreds of thousands of deaths, massive migration, and widespread sectarian violence.

of course the dictatorship is not a good option. the best way to end it has to contemplate possible new ways of organization, make sure how people will be leaded and how a new party is going to be elected in a representative way.

s the president shall be commander in chief of the army and navy of the united states, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the united states; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments. sooo yeahhh
