Never said a man rules alone. Any dictatorship only takes a critical mass of powerful enough people to establish itself. This doesn't necessarily mean the people of a country as a whole, or the majority of the people, or even some times a significant and/or representative amount of the people.

In most cases of dictatorships, people end up being kind of pissed off against the dictators. That's what it takes usually for people to call their rulers "dictators". It is not how you would call someone you like. Exactly for the same reason, the more authoritarian the establishment is - the less they respect/support liberties, personal/political rights and privacy of the people: Because the establishment expects such rights and liberties will be probably used by the people against the establishment itself. And exactly this is why such liberties and rights MUST be protected always, by all costs.

I am not Egyptian myself, but through discussions with Egyptian friends and/or Egyptians I randomly met, this is what they think of their government.

This is getting off topic so I stop it here.
