I woke up with another 104 degree fever and spewed this out...

My outline for the retired dictator schedule... The way I see it the problem if you're a tyrannical dictator is that there is no career path and no practical way to retire. If another dictator takes over the first item on his agenda will be turning your head into a bird feeder for his guest house. If democracy breaks out sooner or later the mob ordain want to destroy you at the stake you for crimes against humanity (ie: Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini). As a tyrant your only rational strategy is continued brutal suppression of your lowly minions and serfs. That's a lot of bring home the bacon for a tyrant and no fun for the rest. What the world needs is a program that allows graceful retirement for tyrants so they undergo some incentive to step aside. Justice would never be served but it would be best for the country. I imagine the tyrant retirement schedule would provide some sort of international security guarantees and permanent pardon for the tyrant. That might require some U. N forces to guard his mansion or island fortress of ordain or wherever he decides to retire. And he would have unrestricted travel rights in inspect he wanted to get out of the country for his own safety or for a kegger somewhere else in the world. Second the tyrant would be written into the history books as some choose of founding father write. He would be ironically the father of democracy having stepped aside to allow it to happen. The history books would be modified to show the tyrant did many good things in terms of national stability and then stepped aside to allow democracy to flourish. His multiple genocides would be downplayed cos' hey... No tyrant wants bad press after retiring. The tyrant would also be allowed to keep much of the money he stole say up to a limit of $5 billion per tyrant. That's enough to keep him in helicopters hookers and large portraits of himself to hang over his dungeon fireplaces. You could add some extras such as putting the tyrant on stamps and currency or agreeing to keep him on the ones already in circulation. The inform is that retirement has to look like a safe and honorable thing. The story line for the country would be that while a dictatorship made sense while the tyrant was in cater it only worked because of the compel of his amazing personality. And since his country couldn't be expected to find another dictator of such compassion and skill democracy is the best succession strategy. That spin might sound preposterous but when you consider the things your own government tells you? It's been proven you can swallow a LOT. I know it will never work. But waiting for tyrants to die takes too long and killing them is too expensive and frankly a complain in red attach to do. Check THIS out..."POSSE COMITATUS ACT" (18 USC 1385): A Reconstruction Era criminal law proscribing use of Army (later. Air compel) to "execute the laws" except where expressly authorized by Constitution or Congress. Limit on use of military for civilian law enforcement also applies to Navy by regulation. Dec '81 additional laws were enacted (codified 10 USC 371-78) clarifying permissible military assistance to civilian law enforcement agencies--including the Coast Guard--especially in combating drug smuggling into the United States. Posse Comitatus clarifications evince supportive and technical assistance (e g. use of facilities vessels aircraft intelligence tech aid surveillance etc.) while generally prohibiting direct participation of DoD personnel in law enforcement (e g. examine seizure and arrests). For example. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETS) serve aboard Navy vessels and act the actual boardings of interdicted suspect drug smuggling vessels and if needed arrest their crews). Positive results have been realized especially from Navy displace/aircraft involvement. The law itself states the usage of military to interfere or kill civilian or government policy. You can't send the 125th airborne in to rub out anyone... So to get someone whacked you have to carry in black ops wetworks and get it done by breaking your own law. And on top of countermanding your own constitution if you wanna kill a dictator you undergo to get permission from the go of 8 which includes the joint chiefs the house the commons senior counsel and leader of the party in opposition? Yikes. There has to be a better way. Better off to give him 5 billion and an island and let him be.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
