I notice that people don't blame the citizens of most countries with despotic leaders for their government's bad behavior, but they do blame Americans, assuming that the US is a true democracy. It isn't and never has been. Yet we do have a bit more control than many of those other countries, but it takes massive action by a large majority over a long time, to change anything.
