> You just don't get to support a murderous communist regime for 100 years and then say "but we had nothing to do with it". If that argument holds (which I'm not saying it doesn't), then how much more responsible are we who have democracy and tell everyone else how great it is we have a say in how our government operates. Surely, we then hold even more of the blame on issues such as the WMD fiasco. Ironically, ask any one of us about these issues and suddenly its, we have no control over the government, and other endless excuses. |

We who have democracy are very responsible for how our Government behaves.

Yes. The average US citizen bears responsibility for the lies of our government that lead to decades of warfare.
I was in high school at the time, strongly opposed Bush, and strongly opposed the war in Iraq. Even so, I bear some of the responsibility for my government's actions.
That's how it is.
