I'll be sure to appologize to the dictators and oppressors of our fellow men and women when we need their support to invade a country again. Me and my silly morality. I understand the arguement... it just seems so hypocritical.

Sir, that is a ludicrous attempt to make the issue seem black and white which it clearly is not. Nobody said morality is a bad thing, but when you are dealing with foreign policy it is ultimately a very risky game to base it entirely on your own moral outlook, especially when there is no definitive universal morality.
Of course it's not black and white, but at times there are very very dark grays that we must concern ourselves with.
In the end the Foreign Policy is subject to the Senate. They may amend it as they please, and likely will.
Of course it's morality. I assumed that we would agree that depotism is immoral, that oppression is immoral, and that in general, many of the regimes we have called friends really shouldn't be. That's my personal opinion, however as Secretary of State my opinion is the foreign policy until the Senate forms the committee or makes legislation, if the populace is concerned I suggest they A, call for my resignation, which I will not provide unless the President himself asks, or B, contact their Senator and get the ball rolling on the foreign policy debate.
