Suharto, Former Bloody Indonesian Dictator, Dies at 86

Despite going after Saddam Hussein and villainiesing such leaders as Kim Jong Il, the US had not problem with and even supported Suharto.

According to Yahoo News:
Suharto of Indonesia, whose 32-year dictatorship was one of the most brutal and corrupt of the 20th century, died Sunday in Jakarta. He was 86.
Mr. Suharto was driven from office in 1998 by widespread rioting, economic paralysis and political chaos. His rule was not without accomplishment; he led Indonesia to stability and nurtured economic growth. But these successes were ultimately overshadowed by pervasive and large-scale corruption; repressive, militarized rule; and a convulsion of mass bloodletting when he seized power in the late 1960s that took at least 500,000 lives.

Again, while The US is promoting democracy around the world, killing 500,000 people didn’t seem to matter to the American government. No one made any complaints. He was good for the US economy so the 500.000 dead was not big deal. Also the dead were believed to be leftists fighting for some political power. So in the eyes of the US government, those lives were of no value anyway.
