Retirement island for dictators

Being a dictator sounds great. That is until you realize that a lot of dictators don't die of natural causes. Many dictators are either assassinated or executed (same thing). That means that dictators consider any reform or opposition or criticism or talk of regime change to be a threat to their life, which it it actually is. That means that any sane dictator (and most of the crazy ones as well) will hang on to power at all cost, even when power no longer benefits them in any way.

Now I know that the victims of the dictator want justice, IE blood thirsty vengeance of the type a dictator uses to terrify his opponents into submission. News flash, you're not going to get both. You have to chose between justice and a peaceful transition. When you see the choice in these stark terms, the best answer is obvious.

Let dictators retire in peace. When they finally get tired of pushing people around and start to fear what their opponents and victims want to do them, let the dictator sail off into the sunset to enjoy their waning years and some of their ill gotten goods. What we need is an island resort that is protected, legally and physically for the dictator's enemies and opponents. The dictator could request a time out and move their family and henchmen to the resort.

Like in my page, "Payoff North Korea", the island could be one of the islands off the coast of California. That would be close enough that America could protect the dictators from the world and to protect the world from the dictators. Plus, the supporters of the dictators (there always are) wouldn't feel threatened by a vindictive trial of their beloved dictator.

Isn't a peaceful transition more important than "justice"
