That's a false dichotomy. One can be against dictatorship, and still not
see war as a good way to handle the situation.

Those over-semplifications are merely a propaganda tool. The "either with
us, or against us" expression was used by both Bush and Bin Laden shortly
after 9/11. And it's clear that the world is more complicated than that.
