It is not fair for Americans to be held responsible for the US power elite’s actions overseas, especially considering that most of them aren’t even aware of what’s going on.
Hmm, I’m not so sure. We do vote for the fuckers, and only turn on their foreign policy actions when they sour. There was a lot of cheering for the invasion of Iraq until Iraqis started fighting back. I think a lot of that “unawareness” is a studied ignorance - a shading of the eyes and a cupping of the ears. As the guy says in Occupation: Dreamland (a terrific movie, by the way http://occupationdreamland.com), Americans want their steak but they don’t want to see how it’s butchered.
