Would you rather have freedom or oppression? heres the catch, oppression gives you stability, security, healthcare, running water and electricity. Freedom on the other hand gives you purple fingers, chaos, raids on your house by foreigners in the middle of the night, no infastructure, and the threat of being killed as you drive down the road in a many number of ways.

So which one would you rather have? poll coming

Even w/o reading the poll, I knew this was about Iraq. I'm pretty sure, since I've heard them say it themselves, that they'd pick freedom

I refuse to acceed to your painfully biased attempt to structure your question. I would have voted "Freedom," if for no other reason than to spite you.

I'm afraid I had to vote for the only acceptable option.

Bring back Saddam! :p

I'd go for oppression, though I believe what you'd call oppression I'd call unity. Though, since I'm not an Iraqi, any additional inferences from my statement are somewhat irrelevant.

Oppression! People have too many rights and privileges confered upon them by governments anyway, it just get confusing.

Given your definitions, I would prefer to live elsewhere. Fortunately I already do.

I'd choose oppresion if it means avoiding the odd roadside bombs and firefights.
