@ami I don't like the complete separation of population and government which is often depicted.
It oversimplifies the relationship between government and population.

There is not many states in which government does something and everyone else hates on the government and is rebelling against it.
If that was the case the government would have fell already.

@ami I don't know about blaming, but I would consider an American citizen a bit more responsible for an action taken by the American government than an Argentinian citizen.

This does not mean that people are directly responsible for actions taken by the government, nor that they all support it.
