23. The Iraqis are...
....not under American 'supervision.' They are under occupation by coalition forces (don't you remember Bush's grand coalition of the willing?).

At the end of WW2 Germany was governed by the Allied Control Council. Germany was not under American 'supervision.' The Allied Control Council's members were the US, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union ( and later France).

The Palestinians are not under Israeli 'supervision.' They are under Israeli occupation. That is why Palestine is referred to as the Occupied Territories, not the supervised territories.
