In a society like the US all citizens bear responsibility
not just the ones who serve or voted for the majority. As for it always being
the administrations fault the people of this country were for this war by an
large majority: May 2003A Gallup poll made on behalf of CNN and
the newspaper USA Today concluded that 79% of Americans thought the
Iraq War was justified, with or without conclusive evidence of illegal weapons.
19% thought weapons were needed to justify the war. People should look in the
mirror and realize we are all responsible for this war. We have a
responsibility to the Iraqi people and to ourselves to insure that when we
leave Iraq that the country is stabilized as much as possible to allow the
country to develop on the grounds that they wish to proceed on. In a Democratic
Republic all citizen bear the responsibility of it's governments actions, to
claim that I'm not responsible because I didn't vote for the President is to
abdicate your moral obligations as a citizen. If as you say you truly believed
that this was an immoral war then were you not obligated to do everything in
your power to stop it, not just post on a blog 5 years later bemoaning the war.
Please don't tell me you marched in protest I can't think of a more worthless
gesture.
