"Let me make another point. The US isn't a person; it doesn't have willpower, feelings, or emotions" You made a similar point in your reply to me, but you've made it better here, so I'll reply here. The US is a human construct, just like any other nation. And part of 'The US' is its people, its citizens. You can't divorce the country from the people that make it. It does have willpower, it does have feelings, it does have emotions. As an example take a look at the countries reaction to 9/11. There was a reaction, which seems to disprove your theory, I would go further and say it was quite a human reaction.
