Being occupied by a foreign military power. Can it get a lot more oppressive than that?
The prescense of a foreign military power does not automatically equal oppression. I think the fact that you can't understand that may be your problem. Do you understand oppression is what was happening to the people of Iraq before the invasion? I will give you the majority of occupations in history have been oppressive ones. That may be why you cannot see that this one is not.Do you consider people being allowed to form their own political system oppression? I would like a straightforward answer to that but I doubt I'll get it. You'll prolly go sideways on this. Which will prove that you just have a a desire to bash. But in reality allowing people a voice and freedom cannot be considered oppression by any definition.
