I agree with the second part but not the first. We've been meddling in the affairs of many foreign governments for a great many years. Do you think the CIA isn't over in Iran instigating those protests? A lot of the debt that we've run up is due to those very same intelligence and military operations.
Are you suggesting that we run for office or join the military? A typical citizen shouldn't need to be that involved--we have a representative government. Not having an opinion on matters of the day would suggest being intentionally uninformed about what is going on and surely you aren't suggesting that...
