Fine then I'll say it too... because of your political support for an illegal war, and the continued political support for the administration that completely dropped the ball in the war planning, peace, and reconstruction, you share in some small part the responsibility for these soldier's deaths - it's the nature of living in a democracy/republic that the people give the government the poltical power, and if that government does good or bad the public shares in the prasie or blame.

Support for the war makes absolutely no difference. By your reasoning, everyone who voted for the administration is responsible. Also, all those who originally voted for the war, and those too timid to take affirmative action (most democrats) are responsible. Quite obviously, public support for the war does not change the actions of the administration or the nature of the conflict. Simply deciding that you don't support the war does not remove you from "responsibility"
