Khun Moses,
It's also misleading to suggest the US supported dictators
like "Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Bokassa, Mobutu Sese Seko, Pinoche,
Marcos, Baby Doc Duvallier..." na ka K. Moses. Most of
these are based on alleged "secret" support that is impossible
to disprove. Such stories are embraced by Leftists, who
are eager to "prove" their hatred of the U.S. government
is justified and who believe the ends justify the means (i.e.,
inventing conspiracies is just fine).
Egypt explained why they were defeated in the first hour
of the '67 war by alleging they were attacked by the U.S.
and Britain who were "secretly" fighting for Israel. This
lie was eagerly believed by many in the Arab world, just
as many Arabs now believe that Saddam was a CIA agent.
Conspiracy theories are attractive to those who feel helpless.
It's a quick way to explain why things don't go the way
they want without examining their own failings.
The U.S. does not support dictatorship. However, most administrations
form tactical alliances with some dictators against others.
Most of the world is ruled by despots and it's impossible
for the U.S. to defend its interests by being totally aloof.
The difference between the U.S. and old Europe on this is
that when the U.S. forms a tactical alliance with a dictator
it continues to condemn human rights abuses, to call for
reform, and to oppose the dictator in other ways. I.e., when
the U.S. supported Iraq against Iran it wasn't approving of
Saddam's tyranny, it was fighting Iran's fascist leaders.
