Are we now to charge every citizen of every country with the sins of their country, then? When the paper eating citizenry of North Korea don't rebel, are we to throw charming coloquialisms at them or say they are supporting their government motivations? You're painting with an awfully broad brush against a very divided country on military policy which has been shaped by closed policy taking shape since the Carter administration. A lot of which was covert operations and came out when the freedom of information act came about. Now you expect a full blown violent revolution. What a short sighted, poorly thought out action.... but if violence and burning is the only way to "get you some change", it doesn't leave a lot for the future. Good luck and I wish you the best, but that isn't my way unless there is no other choice. And I mean no other choice, whatsoever.

US is divided in various different ways, but not in its approach to military. Warmongering support is bipartisan.

Not quite, but if we are to claim ourselves to be a country "by the people, for the people", then yes, we bear at least some of the sins of our country. Maybe not past sins, but we certainly bear current sins if we do not at the very least actively go against them.

  I think you would be hard pressed to find a lot of people who truly believe that we still are a country "by the people, for the people" in a serious fashion. We hold up oligarchs as a ruling class, with laws that effect the bottom 95% of the country in a very different way than the top 5%. There are people in this country who deserve responsibility, but to level it at the masses who walk, ride or bike to one or two jobs seems a bit naive and unfair.
