2. Its tricky
If you are liberated by a culture that shares your values they can be seen as heroes. But when the liberating culture then tries to free you with their values they become the oppressors.

The Iraqi's certainly wanted to be liberated from Saddam. They just didn't want it to cost them their identity. This is the offer we have before them. Accept our form of freedom or suffer.

4. Well they should chose
either liberating or weddings because it doesn't appear that those two situations work well together.
