Summary
This document appears to be page 26 of a political science essay or manuscript draft found within the House Oversight Committee's files (Bates stamp 032196). The text argues for the concept of a "good autocrat," contrasting traditional monarchies in the Middle East (Jordan, Morocco, Oman) which it claims have legitimacy, against modern dictatorships (Syria, Libya) which require brute force. It specifically analyzes the legacies of Mubarak (Egypt) and Ben Ali (Tunisia) in the wake of the Arab Spring.
