Protips for increased dictator longevity

The folks at Cold Equations provide a handy little table for dictators:

Country	Prior relations with the US	Nuclear weapons program	US treatment of country	Status of leader
Egypt	Allied	Not significant	Pressured ally to step down	Permanent vacation
Libya	Moderately warm lately, despite past difficulties	Abandoned under US pressure	Bombs away	Probably on his way out
Syria	Strained to hostile	Not a lot of info, probably has some program	Mild economic sanctions	Life is sweet
Iran	"America is the Great Satan"	Probably going to join the nuclear club soon	Ineffectual, intermittent saber-rattling	Happy as a clam
North Korea	Hostile	Has some nukes, ICBMs are in the works	Ineffectual sanctions, endless talks, unkind portrayal in 2004 movie "Team America: World Police"	You know what sucks about being Kim Il-Jong? Nothing.
