It was an unfortunate aspect of the Cold War that we aligned ourselves with totalitarian despots. It is, however, quite easy to condemn those alliances with the advantage of 20-20 hindsight. At the time, the spread of Communism was viewed as a more serious threat.
I agree that some liberal groups have been vocal about the horrors and atrocities commited by despotic regimes - but sadly, many of the so-called liberal leadership and media are not among them.
