Do you support US politicians using America's military to kill people in other countries?

How would you feel if your father, your wife, and your 14 month old daughter were killed by the joint military of the US and Israel in a surprise, unlawful attack while they were in the midst of peace negotiations with your country?

We, the people, are you and me.

We are not the US Government using America's military to kill people in other countries.

The US Government is run by people like you and me.

Who, then, is accountable for the crime that people like you and me commit through using the power of the US Government?

The answer is the US Government is responsible. The US Government is a corporation. It is a fictional entity created out of thin air.

Therefore, we, the people, are not responsible and don't feel anything.

@sree251 you the people have universal suffrage and a willingness to back winners, only. The killing was no surprise. The country is a sociopathic killer with a few enemies living within, who get no say.

I wonder if any of us realize what democracy is? It is a political system that has locked up the entire population of Americans to serve the US Government.

@sree251 sure you do. But backing only winners is sociopathic. That's pretty much the definition of sociopathic. But Americans decided that's everyone, everyone is like them! No time or place to debate, we're sociopathic because everyone always is!

Americans live under the delusion they are Dr Frankenstein, when in fact they are our Frankenstein mercenary army, but weak leaders have let them get too big over the decades.

Weak leaders? Trump is not weak. He has gone where no one has gone before. He has threatened both friends and foes and mobilized the entire US Military to fight a war with Iran. And no one is stopping him, not even when the economy of every nation in the world is put at risk.

And if 30 years of history is evidence he will drag NATO countries into this or else.

I am afraid so. Never mind the morality of it all, it is strange that no western nation, except Spain, has spoken up even to protest against the risk of economic turbulence caused by Trump's war against Iran.
