...it certainly seems to me that one of the most relevant groupings of people would be the group of all citizens of each nation-state. That's just elementary logic.
As for not "lump[ing] everyone together", YTF *not*? Sure, you may not all *be* Dick Cheney -- but then, the rest of you have still let him carry on unfettered for about four or five (and at the very least least three!) years longer than you should have. You don't wanna take the blame for that, you should have had a revolution (or at the very least least, gotten your shit together in the '04 election!) and got rid of him.
(Yes, I mean that at least semi-seriously: By not doing so [either way], you showed that the vaunted "stability in government" of the United States of Consumerism was more important to you than those "hundreds of thousands [or at the very least least tens of thousands] of lives" that he's squandered. Everyone in the world doesn't HAVE to agree you made the right judgment there, do they?)
So, sorry, but now that you've got off your high horse, you better stay the fuck down off it.
'Coz you were wrong, and Jake was right.
