You're right, to a point. But at some point a rational secular nationalist dictator (a job I someday hope to have) has to realize that taking his chances with a population that thinks he knuckled under the West is a better bet than taking on the most powerful army in the world. I mean, the guy had enough thugs on the payroll, you would think he could risk some of his "legitimacy".
