There are three types of Communist/ Socialist and two types of Muslim Terrorist regimes in the world as defined by our politicians in  Washington.
   There are the usual fellow travelers, the progressive socialist regimes throughout the third world that are lauded and supported by progressive Democrats.  Liberal chic demands solidarity with African or South American dictators, no mater how repressive or brutal.  Joe Kennedy's affiliation with the communist dictator Hugo Chavez of  is a recent example. The politically correct, Orwellian "Ministry of Truth" demands solidarity and support of every insurgency, militia or established political organization be named "freedom "or "voices of the people".
  Then there is the Republican endorsed Communist in Beijing.  The Republicans seem to have exonerated and excused any and all atrocities committed  by the  People's Republic of China.  It doesn't matter if the Communist regime of  China orders their own students crushed by tanks in Tianemen Square or the Chinese soldiers and secret police agents are incarcerating and imprisoning innocent protesters in Tibet.  Lets face it, China invaded, conquered and  practically enslaved a free and sovereign nation , in exactly the same way as Stalin  conquered and crushed  the nations of Eurasia.  But commercial interest, the Free Trade policy of our Republican plutocrats  and the fact that our national debt is subsidized by China will intimidate the Republicans into acquiescence.   All that rhetoric about freedom, democracy and rights goes right out the window. The Chinese Communist are encouraged to retain their totalitarian control just like the royal, non-elected,  princes who rule Saudi Arabia. 
  It is ironic that Rep. Nancy Pelosi can support the Kurdish Marxist separatist, the PKK, and offend our ally, Turkey.  But give her credit and kudos for her courage to confront the brutal repression of the Communist Chinese and their attempts to crush and control Tibet.  It will be Tibet today, Taiwan tomorrow and then Japan, Korea and the Philippines in the future.
And then there is Cuba our whipping boy. Every politician that wants to put on a pretense of standing up against Marxist or totalitarian regimes will stand tough against the Castro Brothers and keep our embargo.
  In like manner, we have Syrian-Iranian backed  Shia Islamic terrorist that don't seem to bother the Democrats, as long as they embarrass the Bush agenda in Iraq.  Just as many Democrats in the 60's professed solidarity with the North Vietnamese, today's progressives have a solidarity with the Ba'ath Socialst and the Iranian-supported terrorist.  In like manner, the Republican Party refers to the Saudi princes as our "ally".  This despite the overwhelming evidence that the 911 terrorist, including Osama Bin Ladin, were financed by the non-elected, aristocratic Saudi Royal Family.  The  Republican Party's ally, Saudi Arabia, is the perpetrators and supporter of the Sunni Wahabi Madras school systems.  These Madrases indoctrinate student throughout the world to hate America, Capitalism, Our Constitution and Christianity with a violent vehemence that is far greater than even the Reverend Wright or the ACLU.
