All good points. I am ashamed for both some of the things that happened and that way too few has been held responsible.
Please forgive those of us who where tricked into it, too young to vote etc.
I'll try to do my part to prevent more of it.
Edit: as for the phrase "the free world", read it to mean "freer to those inside it" if that helps.
- avgcorrection 5y ago> Please forgive those of us who where tricked into it, too young to vote etc. Then you blame the voters of America when their government started an illegal war based on falsehoods.
- mvc 5y agoYes, UK and US foreign policy has been, and in many places around the world, is currently, ethically, morally questionable. As a UK citizen, of voting age for 20 years now, I'm guilty as charged. I voted for Blair before the Iraq war, but like many others protested on our streets in the build up (and I haven't voted for them since). Doesn't make us wrong about Putin though.
- dhimes 5y agoI'm right there with you. I voted for Bush in 2000 based on his education platform; when it was clear the war was a major mistake that he wouldn't admit to, I tried to vote him out in 2004.
- avgcorrection 5y agoSo you’re to blame for an illegal war started after 2000? Because that was the initial, implied claim.
- mvc 5y agoElections have consequences but electors sometimes need to come face to face with those who bear the consequences to remember that.
- avgcorrection 5y agoVoters aren’t responsible for war crimes unless war crimes were part of the election program. But blame yourself all you want. Your impotent guilt is not my problem.
