Yes, the US has directly or indirectly supported dozens of dictatorships, from Latin America to Asia. They were supported in many cases because they opposed communism or other movements that the US viewed as less desirable.

The historical include Francisco Franco of Spain (1936 to 1975), the leaders of South Vietnam, the Shah of Iran (1941 to 1979) and even Saddam Hussein. The current include several hereditary rulers who govern Middle Eastern countries.
