    Pug, When you say “we” do you mean the US government. Do you kind of identify with that institution a little?

    P.S. I hope you don’t mind me calling you Pug

      Yeah. Not necessarily proudly. But being an American is part of my identity.

      Its sins are my sins, to some small degree. That’s the nature of citizenship in a somewhat-democratic polity. We all bear a part of the blame, and a part of the responsibility going forward.
