Taking the Arab dictatorship example, you could also apply the reverse conclusion.
While the mentioned scenario of the Realist wanting to keep the dictator in power to serve his own interests and the Liberal wanting to remove the dictator to promote democracy and human rights is a realistic one, both sides can also take the opposite stance for the same reasons. For example:
The Realist supports deposing the dictator because he knows doing so will lead to instability, thus rendering a would-be geopolitical opponent into a now handicapped and significantly weakened state.
The Liberal opposes deposing the dictator because instability leads to the inability of the state to provide "universal basic services", and the supposed right of the people of said nation to have access to basic state services outweighs any geopolitical benefit of destabilization.
I've had this argument several times on the IFC discord server about the morality or justification of intentionally taking actions which you know will cause instability for geopolitical benefit. Again, your example isn't incorrect, its just that either side can take the same action, and the real difference is what compels them to do so. In short:
Realist: Supports or deposes dictator because it suits his interests
Liberal: Supports or deposes dictator because it adheres to his morality
However, I personally disagree with using the terms realist and liberal, with the latter being more of a generalization while the former is a subjective usage of the word "realist".
