Forgive me for not being able to present my thoughts more articulately and not looking up dictionary ..my aim is to to get the truth as i see it across ..articulately or inarticuately ...gramatically checked or not .
when i say US , i refer to US government , its policies etc, this is what i see ,this is what shapes my views/ opinions .

u must be a US citizen , thats y u seem to find "slanderous" to see US as a dictatorship but iam sorry to say that this is widely held opinion outside of US shocking it might sound to you.

the fact is iraq posed no immediate threat to the U.S. We know that now. I suspect your leaders knew it before the invasion but chose to withhold that information from the American people, and invented frivilous lies to justify the attack. Such conduct is considered criminal in most civilized societies . A civilized society does not torture civilians or massacre women and children. If saddam tortured and killed his people , US is no less , US army seems to have take quite a liking to his torture camps idea and implementing it in thier own fashion . No "Champion of Democracy" will do this .

Instead of liberating Iraq it has been driven it deeper into poverty, despair and danger. Instead of bringing freedom to the nation US occupation have brought anarchy, death and disruption.

and what do you think seems to be causing the recent increase in ïnsurgency btw ? ummm.. US invasion !!

Iraqis are getting killed at a rate of 70 per day , if u think all of this is done by iraqi insurgents u r definitely mistaken , most of them die being caught in the middle in the duel between US "liberators" and the insurgents . there are numerous reports of US soldier gunning down innocent citizens for just getting too close to them !
