For all those who consistantly criticise American Citizens, AKA "The US", public and foreign policy, the political agenda, and so on, are under the direct control of the government administration, the people are basically kept in the dark and not consulted on the day to day decisions made by those on capitol hill.
The actions of those in power, do not always reflect the needs, aspirations and attitude of all the citizens.
Even when 70% or more of the US population, don't agree with, and voice their opposition to, any particular legal stance, political position or direction the leaders are proposing, we are ignored and told it's in our best interest.
We have been lied to, cheated, manipulated, duped and have been used as pawns in their game of financial greed, lust for power and control, just like many other nations on the planet have.

Reaction:
Of course, most people from outside the USA make that seperation. But some sidenotes should be made IMO:
- Too many americans on here seem seem to go way overboard with their conspiracy-theories and therefore sketching a situation of the TPTB in their own country and the world that just isnt realistic or true, more a situation of believe then trusting on facts / ratio.
- If the situation in your country bothers you so much why don't you start your own political party or force the existing parties to change there course. Of course, the current system is partly corrupted by too, but is not like its some evil, overpowering illuminati-system many of you make it out to be (see my first point). Youre still living in a democratic and free country: take you opportunities, fight for it, and dont believe all the conspiracy-hype.. LOL
