Carl, what you said was that the US deployed anthrax. Which is either deliberately incorrect, or else you are starting to lose your mind.

Typically, when people say "the US" did something, you can tell by the context that either they meant the US government, or else the US people as a whole.

I am sitting here in my nightgown, drinking coffee, and about to go wake up the kids. If I said "the US is wearing a nightgown, drinking coffee" you'd think I had lost my mind.

Or maybe it's poetry.

The US wakes up before the sun comes up
Puts on her nightgown
And goes downstairs to start the coffee brewing.
She turns on the computer
Pets the cats
And when the coffee is brewed
Has two cups, alone in her office
Enjoying the peace and quiet
While reading about war
On the Internet
