I see what you're saying superbelt. You can't make all these swell sounding endorsements of support for fundamental human rights while helping despots who regularly commit crimes against humanity.
That is one of the reasons that the humanitarian justification for the iraqi war doesn't hold water. You can pretend that america is all about the proliferation of democracy and the protection of human rights, but unless you tack the phrase "when it suits america's strategic and economic goals" on the end of those ideas your being deceptive by way of omission. America is a fair-weather friend to democracy and human rights.
