It's great that you're trying to get the Americans on this list to think
about the situation from a different PoV, but you're starting to sound
just as overzealous as some of them.

IMHO the inaction of the American people stems from ignorance, or the
belief that our brand of democracy really works (which might be one and
the same).  The U.S. Government is not really "for the people" - at
least, not the way it is supposed to be.

Either way, I do not dare put the American people on the same level as
terrorists.  The Government, possibly, but not the people.

But ideals do not exist (if they did, Communism would actually work),
and we do as best we can.  The U.S. Government did what it had to do to
keep the Soviets in check, I suppose.  I don't know all the facts, so
while I may not be entirely happy with my government, I am not about to
condemn it.
