Most Americans certainly do not like huge military expenditures on nations that don't want them in there, so I would say they didn't vote for that.
Do most Americans like Blackwater? I would say most Americans don't like American soldiers coming home in bodybags, so the deniability of Blackwater appeals to them.
You're right - Everyone -is- responsible. Therein lies the problem: When everyone's responsible, it's easy to believe no one is responsible. |
Vort said that because Aesa hates the American Government, he hates the citizenry because they voted them in. If you look at it that way, I'm saying Because the citizenry voted the government in, the citizenry are responsible for these above issues and actions (the issues themselves are not exaggerated). Just applying the same logic.
They do not vote for these things directly, but rather in ignorance. Obama is full steam ahead with a continuation of bu$h's plans, except he leads the way with catch phrases like 'hope' and 'change'. There is no change, so what hope do we have.... he has pulled out of many if not most of his election promises, watch this:

more of it is needed for real change.
sorry if I come across a bit overbearing, I am just passionate about the issue.
edit: oh... and funky don't think that becasue I'm quoting your post i'm trying to argue/disagree or have a go at you....I'm not
