When do we hold the citizens of countries accountable for the acts of their leaders? Your position seems to be that if the leaders are corrupt, but the people don't overthrow them, it's our fault.

IMO, that denigrates the obligations of a people to correct the abuses in their own countries. If we allow them "off the hook," that re-emphasizes that the people of these nations aren't responsible for what they allowed their governments to do, but we are.

That promotes and subsidizes the failure of citizens to take on the most basic obligations of citizenship.
