People arround the world are fighting for freedom. The United States is supposed to be holding up the standard of democracy for the people of the world, but are we (the US?) I don't think so when we are giving aid and comfort to dictators so that we can have "allies". What good are allies when they turn their own people against us because of their repressive and authoritarian non-democratic rule? I would rather that we have no allies than allies that are dictatorships!
The US should support democracy and freedom for all peoples regardless of whether we like the outcome or not, what their religion is, or any other cultural or ethnic qualities that they have. If a democracy elects a group that is against us or one we don't like politically, that is too bad, but that does not mean that we should in any way a support dictator to maintain that country as an "allie".
The US should boldly speak out in support of freedom and democracy for all peoples of the world and start supporting democracies that are our friends and our are true allies, not evil despotic dictatorships that cause people to be against us and actually creates enemies for us instead of supposed "allies".
And what about the billions in foreign aid the US wastes supporting these dictatorships? It ultimatley results in nothing but bad effects. Examples are many but the best example is the results of supporting the Shaw in Iran. You know what the results of that is.
