"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Isn't always true. Just because a country/political faction opposes US hegemony doesn't automatically make them morally superior.

Isn't it implied by using this proverb that you know they have some bad qualities?
Same as supporting the 'lesser evil'? Also, it's hardly impossible to not be morally superior to these scumbags.
