Fuck. I've been nearing a similar conclusion, though from an entirely different, uh, line of approach. Though I don't consider having quite crossed that line yet.
I guess in the end we are responsible for the actions our government takes. And if we remain ignorant and continue to benefit (and do nothing to stop it), then we are responsible, particularly when our military represents an outrageously assymetric invasionary force.
If you pay taxes, you are a terrorist. Even if you pay them under threat of violence, as most do. 9/11 was a commando/specops operations against an invader on par with Rome. If the US were invaded by troops from Arabia, one would expect that American Patriots (tm) would perform similar military actions. What part of "beware foreign entanglements" does Congress have a comprehension problem with? Give part of germany to the jews, and give palestine back to the arabs, and blame the history of British imperialism. Buy whatever oil, hash, carpets you find on the free market. ---- Trade with all, make treaties with none, and beware of foreign entanglements. -George Washington
