That's exactly my point. If you're assigning blame for something the US government did to someone because they paid taxes, then you can pretty much assign blame to everyone for everything. Oh, you went to Stanford during the '90s? Well Rice was provost then, so you helped pay her salary are therefore responsible for the deaths that occurred in the Iraq war. It's absurd.



I think you are extrapolating vs the original point. I was answering to :

> Uh we have all killed indirectly

Well, Rice has been certainly much more 'directly' involved in killing that the ones who paid taxes.
