re: #146 dog philosopher

i don’t understand your argument here

???

I do. What a Democracy does, it does with the consent of the governed. BUSH didn’t invade Iraq, for example, WE did. We elected him and the Congress who authorized the action, then we RE-elected him.

The people of Iraq, OTOH, didn’t bear responsibility for the actions of Saddam, because they had little or no say in the government.

Funny, though, which one suffered more for the actions of their governments.
