What ever happened to the good old days when a dictator facing overthrow would take his millions and retire to an estate in the South of France or some other country? Baby Doc Duvalier, Idi Amin, Mengistu, Charles Taylor. Had that deal been offered to Khadaffy, Hussein and Assad, there may have been a lot less bloodshed.
Some don’t figure it out in time to get away. What they lack in intelligence, they make up for in brutality..
