This is one of the main reasons the U.S. has no moral credibility when it criticizes the human rights violations of certain select nations, and ignores those of others.

I agree completely. We supported the Shah of Iran who brutalized his own people for our own self interests, we also supported Saddam Hussein when he fought the war against Iran. We're always changing alliances and are willing to overlook the atrocities of any government in order to maintain good relations with them.
