You conveniently refer to Tibet, Cambodia and the Ukraine. At least 
in Tibet and Cambodia, I am convinced that atrocities, killings and
mass movement of populations took place. (I know nothing about the
Ukraine, but I also know that the U.S. shares the guilt for what
happened to Cambodia. Remember Kissinger and his saturation bombing?)

However, you also conveniently forget El Salvador, Chile, South Africa 
and South Korea, to name a few of the U.S.'s staunch allies with rather
colorful resumes. They are staunch anti-communists, good capitalists
and the very model of the kind of democracy some in the U.S. would
like to export to the world, the model Reagan is bent on reintroducing
into Nicaragua.
