you simply don't want to answer a harder question about your own government's dirty hands? No Raymond... the problem is that I don't know what you mean by "your government"... Because in the US, the government is accountable to the people that elect it. The US goverment changes at least every 4 years, and sometime every two, if the congress changes control. To indict the "US goverment" as a whole is to the indict the American people who elected it. And with those changes in administrations come changes in policy and new individuals tasked with carrying it out. This stands in stark contrast to Cuba, where Castro has been in power for 40 years and NOTHING occurs without his knowledge, approval, and support. Castro is accountable to NO ONE BUT HIMSELF. So someone like myself and indict the Cuban government because it is not separate or distinguishable from the man who has controlled it for 4 decades. What you should more properly say is "you simply don't want to answer a harder question about those people in the US government who may have abused the authority bestowed upon them by the electorate". That would be FAR closer to the reality of it all. There definitely have been abuses of power by US government officials. But far more often, there have been errors in judgement and poor policy making by people who don't truly understand, or care about, the issues. Only when you can show me the those who wield ultimate control over every aspect of US govermental decision making for the past 200 years, will I accept your definition. Hawk
