Your still thinking from the humanitarian mindset. Your still thinking as a American with liberty. The truth is in a dictatorship the government doesn't give a crap about public perception, or about the value of human life. A dictator will nerve gas a city to quash and and all resistance, and to send a message to the public at large. Harbor resistance fighters, and I will kill everyone. The dictator is also happy to torture and execute your entire family in your stead. They just keep expanding the circle to you give yourself up, or until a member of your family turns you in.
Iraq is simply a poor example, because the United States government must restrain itself. Though if it used the tactics I just outlined the country would be subjugated in less then two weeks. You might lose a couple million citizens, but those that remained would actually reinforce your order. They would put down insurgents or report them in their communities.
