The U.S.: Still the protector of Mideast strongmen

Because Americans and co keep interfering in the natural evolution of other countries.
:lol: Aaahh...You are soooo funny. Or at least your failed arguments are. Whenever I see something so generalized a criticism as this, it is clear that the person has no arguments left.

US capability to interfere is limited if there is democracy. At least the leaders can take refuse of public opinion.
About dictators, for outsiders, they are they easiest to deal.
We dealt with Musharraf (in fact many Indians prefer him as head of pakistan state as it is easier to deal with dictators), but you cant blame others for bringing him in.

Outsiders cant force dictators on ME people, but can deal with them(there is no other choice)

You are entitled to your opinion. Unlike those under the heal of dictators supported by Americans

Well bearing in mind that your adopted country is run by a small number of people aka AIPAC what can one expect from you.
 
Turkish-U.S. relations have an approximately 200-year-long history. The relationship with the United States was put on the agenda of the world and of Turkey after World War II.
The relationship between the two countries started via American merchants. The first American ships came to Izmir in 1797.

Since there was no reciprocal agreement, the United States conducted business through the British consuls; however, heavy payments to the British for this work led to a request for an agreement between the United States and the Ottoman Empire. The U.S. had paid $65,500 to England for consular services between 1799 and1811. The US had firstly appointed the ambassador of Portugal, W. Smith, as its Ottoman representative in light of the economic and political situation in 1799, but the ambassador was unable to assume his duties due to various problems. Despite the fact that a new ambassador was appointed in 1803, he had to return to Portugal since he was not recognized by the Ottoman State. The United States of America, a maritime state, had been exporting products such as corn, salted fish and so on primarily to Mediterranean countries. Therefore, it needed to sign a treaty with Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli, known as the "West Societies" during that period of Ottoman rule, in order to secure permission for its ships to sail the Mediterranean, which at that time was dominated by the Ottomans. The United States met with the Ottomans as a result of these treaties. While the US was discussing treaty articles with Algeria, it wanted to make an agreement with the Ottoman Empire as well. The United States of America was obligated to pay a tax of 12.000 gold coins yearly or an equivalent amount in military munitions to Algeria as a result of the treaty. The American government paid taxes to Algeria for exactly 20 years, between 1795-1815. There is supposedly no other example of America paying taxes to an Islamic country in U.S. history.

This videos states that its the first country america agreed to pay tax to , the first agreement that was signed by amerika in a foreing language ( turkish ) this was a result of their navies geting destroyed and captured and it talks about us many things in video ,

At the same time, we'd like to bring to mind that beginning with its independence, all treaties signed by the United States had been written in English except the agreement signed with Algeria, which was written in old Turkish

words of Sultan Mahmud II: "The European custom is that they are not ashamed of breaking their word. Whatever that word is, if it has an advantage for themselves, they support it immediately."
 
By providing no support to pro-democracy forces, US is protecting ME?

In other words by providing no support to Irani fueled protests! and how do you know that US did not co-operated with Iran?

If Bahrain govt. have wisdom, they should have checked the back ground of people entering the state a year before the protests they will surely unearth partners in crime.

Lets, count how many non shia regimes had been dismantled in the region by US so far?

1- Iraq
2- Lybia
3- Afghanistan
4- Pakistan

BTW... How about US supporting pro democracy forces in Iran, Syria & Yemen?

Iran and Syria are successfully putting it down by killing them. Even democracy cannot win against weapons.
