It is usually those who never experienced dictatorship complaining

And it's usually those who have never experienced the aftermath of US intervention defending it. Ask Iraqis how they feel about the intervention that killed hundreds of thousands and created ISIS. Ask Libyans enjoying their open-air slave markets. [1]

The people who lived through US regime change have plenty of complaints. We just don't center their voices when it's inconvenient.

You should speak to a resident of Libya. The days of Gadaffi are now considered the golden days of paradise.
Or the Vietnamese refugees who fleed on boats 50 years ago. I grew up listening to radio with Vietnamese announcements towards the boats every morning. Sadly Americans abondoned them, they lost their home country and were left behind.
