Make the case that Hitler was tyrannizing France -- people went about their business and there was a functioning government of French people. So long as you did no resist the invasion and occupation of France by Germany, the Germans were happy to let you go about your business. You either don't get it or have a strong need to deny it -- but it is this simple: Lacking any legitimate or legal basis for an invasion, the USA lied about a non-existent threat to the national security of the USA and invaded Iraq, a sovereign country that had not attacked the USA and that posed no threat. The raw naked aggression of this act was apparent to most people in the world, but of course not in the US where people wanted so badly to think of themselves as "good guys" that the invasion of another country and the army of occupation currently in place was seen as some sort of goodwill gesture. The USA sees itself as an uncontested superpower in a unipolar world. The moment it uses this power, in the form of its military capability, to invade and occupy non-aggressive sovereign states that pose no threat, then you have the global tyranny.
