> then how much more responsible are we who have democracy

We who have democracy are very responsible for how our Government behaves.

> Surely, we then hold even more of the blame on issues such as the WMD fiasco.

Yes. The average US citizen bears responsibility for the lies of our government that lead to decades of warfare.

I was in high school at the time, strongly opposed Bush, and strongly opposed the war in Iraq. Even so, I bear some of the responsibility for my government's actions.

That's how it is.
