Think of it this way.

You live in a nation that has a dictatorship and as long as you play the game and do not rock the boat and be what the dictatorship wants you to be, you have running water, a decent education and job and common luxuries (not U.S. standard luxuries) but you aren't starving either, have decent roads and are one of the richer nations in your area. You are a very religious peoples, and as long as you are of the right denomination, you are ok..... otherwise if you are Shite (I maybe wrong it maybe Kurdish) your dictator whomps your asses.

Then comes a point where your dictator wants to control more, he invades Kuwait and you go to war and lose badly. Your nation is plummeted into deep depression, because of sanctions. But, so long as you "behave" you're fine, and your roads and infrastructure are maintained reasonably well, you have running water and so on.

Then the US starts pounding on you about WMD, of which there were none. They come in and say they are liberating you.

In the process you lose running water, your roads are torn apart, your infrastructure is in shambles, there are insurgents everywhere, the US basically holds you hostage...... but as long as you play the game and don't rock the boat and do as the US soldiers tell you.... you are fine.

Now, how long will this US occupation last? Noone knows for sure but you have been liberated...... well as long as you play the game, don't rock the boat and show the US respect and do as they say.

Oh yeah and the US shows no respect for your religion, however you have more freedom to practice how you want, but you are watched carefully and cautiously and the US tries to convert you to their religion, Christianity.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
