Liberating Iraq and double standards

Since WMDs, nukes and mushroom clouds morphed into liberating a people's from tyranny, I thought I'd pose a question.

What other nations are ruled by a tyrannical, brutal force while our government turns a blind eye? A couple came to mind for me, but I'd like to hear from everyone else on this. I'd like to have a compilation of nations that, like Iraq, are in need of being "liberated", in the neocon sense. Having such a list at one's disposal renders moot the conservative argument that we did Iraq to liberate the people etc.

NKorea, Syria and Iran don't fit the bill. Many in Africa do.
