3. You don't have to be a terrorist sympathizer...
... to blame America first. As citizens of the U.S., we are responsible for what our country is doing.

We don't have the right to influence what other countries do. And to the extent that our country is interfering in the affairs of other nations, we certainly are blameworthy for whatever happens as a consequence of that interference.

We in the U.S. certainly don't have the excuse that we are powerless and living under a dictatorship that gives us no voice in events, at least not yet. To the extent that our elected leaders fail to abide by the wishes of the people and arrange deals beneficial to themselves and their cronies in secret, those leaders are responsible for what happens to the nation, but to the extent that we citizens refuse to hold them acccountable when we do find out about their skullduggery, we are responsible. For every minute that we permit Shrub to stay in power, ignore the United Nations, and wreak havoc throughout the world, we Americans have to accept blame.
