I would say that what's going on in Columbia is far, far worse than in most Middle Eastern nations at this point... though its not related to dictators. As for Venezuela, that is essentially a dictator, but its only really affecting that nation...
And how exactly is most of Africa in the Eastern Hemisphere? Where do you draw the line? Because Europe is in the Western Hemisphere and Africa is directly south of Europe, mostly...
Oh, and I was just saying that there are lots of dictators out of the Middle East and in the Middle East, in general the dictators aren't the problem...
Most Middle Eastern nations do not have those weapons so it is not a real issue. The only one that does is Pakistan, and I really don't think that they will ever use nukes first... though the situation with them and India is bad, I doubt that either one is stupid enough to want nuclear war...
So no, I don't think that there is some huge moral difference there. Except for the extremists, who in most cases do NOT run the governments...
Oh, and we have no need for those... we've got the best army in the world and when you have that why bother with terrorism that way? Its much easier to just bully people into doing what you want...

Quote: when's the last time we hijacked commercial airliners and plowed them into giant skyscrapers in the middle of one of the most densly populated cities in the world, for the express purpose of the mass murder of innocent civilians, with no reason or provocation except lies told to us by an insane fundamentalist warping and perverting the teachings he claims to hold dear just to get us to do the dirty work?
