Don't you have to weigh that against costs in dollars, costs in lives, impact (positive or negative) on other international relations, etc.? In the abstract, sure, it's in our interest to have less genocidal dictatorts (my new favorite word) ruining their own countries. But there's a cost, and you gotta consider whether or not the goal is worth it, don't you?
