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.

There is a differance between a cop out and a reason. I did not say it was an excuse I told you how it is. I dunno who told you we all support the president or this war, reading the posts should give you an idea. I do not think the country has been in such direct opposition over leadership and policy since the Civil War. There were more than a few years between Reagan and Bush by the way which means there were more than a few million new voters who may or may not have known about that situation. THEN we have all the contraversy over weither the president elect was even elected. Then you have to take into the idea of the electoral college and the fact that the votes of the people are not counted on a whole to decide. This whole thing has not gone over without a hitch and there is a lot of opposition and lots of leasons that were learned with all of this.
You probably think that all Americans are violent and will kill and fight when they do not get our way. So you honestly think we should overthrow the government right now while at war? We are a democrative country as you said, and that means we show opposition and go through the proper channels and we fight as a last resourt. So no we are not going to go overthrow our government over this, we will say we oppose it using our free speach. Our leaders should then listen to us UNLESS our ideas are not good for our country. The average American is not in a position to lead this country, just like I do not believe you would particuraly make a good military leader based on your comments here. Not attacking you just making a point, you would be a push over as a leader and probably wait to long to fight against a threat, this is why you are not in leadership, this is why the American people do not make decisions on things of this mannor.
