I disagree. And this is splitting hairs even further, but...thats what we do here. Keep it real.
How would you characterize specific monetary compensation of the families of dead suicide terrorists?

I wouldn't characterize it as 'oppression' at all. More on the order of Protection. The people practicing the real Oppression are Arafat & Co., as in oppressing and keeping their own people living in open sewers because they refuse to recognize Israel as a legitimate country and therefore a partner in peace.
Saddam showed his support for destructive, nihilistic, hate-fueled terrorism, while the US shows its support for a free, democratic, productive Democracy.
