Good points, rmnunez...but the USA can't step away from the fact that they've supported a military dictator who overthrew a democracy.

It could well be argued that by doing so, they have provided a fertile breeding ground for that which they wished to prevent - extremism.
What U.S. governing body should go for, then ? Wait for pro-democratic sources to emerge ? How long ?
A situation required U.S. to make a deal with Musharraf, then U.S. acquired that point.
(This is not an attempt for any excuse, but) this is politics. As long as it gives and/or brings U.S. a required point, U.S. goes for that.
There are neither Morality nor Ethics involved, but business, and only.
