That's the most pathetic cop out possible, you're a FUCKING DEMOCRACY. Americans have repeatedly continued to support Presidents who have killed hundreds of thousands of people illegally, and even ones who have traded arms with, I don't know, IRAN.
The government works for you, not the other way around, don't forget that. The only reason the US government has been able to run wild is because the people don't challenge them on it. I mean, Reagan fought illegal wars in South America and gave weapons to Iran, I've got an idea... let's elect Bush!
It's not your leaders fault, there will always be crazy people trying to lead countries into war. It's the peoples fault for being stupid enough to let them. It's not Reagan's fault he trained and armed Bin Laden, it's your fault you let him while you weren't paying attention.
