Dictatorship:
1. a country, government, or the form of government in which absolute power is exercised by a dictator.
2. absolute, imperious, or overbearing power or control.
3. the office or position held by a dictator.
Dictator
1 a person exercising absolute power, esp. a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession.
2. (in ancient Rome) a person invested with supreme authority during a crisis, the regular magistracy being subordinated to him until the crisis was met.
3. a person who authoritatively prescribes conduct, usage, etc.: a dictator of fashion.
4. a person who dictates, as to a secretary.
OK, now, my reason for all of this:
We decided to completely destroy Iraq's governmental system and replaced it with our own. While dictaorships are a bad thing, it could possibly work for some cultures. I jsut put in the definitions, to show that the first definitions of both words do not say anything negative.
