I would still say it's not wrong to blame American's from Bush's action.
- ceejayoz 3y agoIt might be wrong to blow up half of DC to take out Republican leadership, though.
- jfengel 3y agoThat's kind of an interesting analogy, since DC itself is an overwhelmingly Democratic city. They themselves would love to be rid of Republican leadership, who have a strong influence on city policy via Congress. They did not select them; they were sent from elsewhere. If you offered to blow up the city in order to take out Republican leadership, more than a few would at least be willing to consider that tradeoff.

- YetAnotherNick 3y agoIt's not an individual blame, but sometimes innocent suffers the decisions of the leader. Like I am not sympathetic to Russia at all regarding sanctions even though I know not all Russians support Putin's plan. And American's absolutely do suffer from their President's actions(although not that much).
