Just no. This is a depressing and counter productive take on the war and democracy. This is the attitude that caused and perpetuated the war and will cause untold problems in the future. It is a clear and obvious childish excuse. Americans deep down know they are responsible for the war and the are desperately casting around for scape goats. Of course there is plenty of blame to go around but you chose those representatives. YOU CHOSE Americans. You could have chosen differently but you chose to start the war. You chose to continue the war for 20 years. 20 years! Was it really so hard to realize it was a bad idea? Stop complaining and pointing fingers elsewhere. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
