Aladeen's rant at the US before he spots his girlfriend

I liked the rant itself, all the stuff he said that sounds like a dictatorship... only that the Western World and especially the USA actually DOES all that stuff, and I was in full agreement with him... until he spots Zoey and he changes tack entirely at her distraught expression. That was a real let-down to me. Here is a foreign dictator, telling the truth about the Western Powers that they're not all that different, and a love interest goes and spoils the scene. 

Why are you here if you haven't seen the movie yet?
