Neither, I really should have said "as voter and a a citizen" since changing this policy might require more than voting.
But I think that this is something an ordinary citizen can do something about. The policy up until now was not created by arms manufacturers, or by neo-cons alone, but primarily by moderate liberals. Noam Chomsky or Norman Finkelstein would say that these moderate liberals had been tricked into acting as pawns for the neo-cons. That doesn't have the ring of truth to me. I think they act according to their own ideology, albeit a hypocritical one that is liberal at home and right wing on the Middle East. This ideology can be argued and lobbied against by people with different opinions.
