Sure, but the difference is a bit more salient under a regime like Saddams. For example, there are people in the US who feel that they have been wrongly imprisoned. There are further some who feel that they have been imprisoned for what they do not consider a crime, or what they feel should not -be- a crime We expect these people to exist, we can listen to their greivance. There is a different class of people, looking to get their thumbs out of a literal screw. Who wish to at least -face- a trial for the crimes they have been accused of. People who are under the threat of death for disagreement. So, while I can find dissenters among any population...I have to look in a particular tpype of place, a particular type of regime, in which their greivence is torture, or the attempted eradication of their ethnicity.
Iraq was such a place. Saddam's was such a regime.
