Lukashenko said in impromptu remarks at a mass ski event that the foreign ministers of Poland and Germany, who had spearheaded the diplomatic offensive against his government, were outsiders who deserved public scorn. "One lives in Warsaw and the other in Berlin," Lukashenko said in apparent reference to Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle. "As for the second one who was screaming about a dictatorship... Having heard that, I thought to myself: better to be a dictator than gay." Lukashenko last year said he had once told Westerwelle, who is openly gay, during a meeting that "he must lead a normal life". He later apologised for his remarks but added that he "did not like gays." The 57-year-old former collective farm boss -- once identified as Europe's last dictator by Washington -- has left his ex-Soviet nation in growing diplomatic isolation over his nearly 18-year rule.

Well, we all know dictators aren't gay:

I'm going to have to think about that one for a while. That's one of those, "would you rather have your toes smashed with a hammer, or your thumbs crushed in a vice" questions.
