I think so, Until recently most american people believed that there was a connection between 9/11 and Iraq? Hello? And no one questioned the govt about bin ladin?

Didn't the President say that questioning U.S. policy during a war was un-patriotic?
OBVIOUSLY, it's not. The current administration don't want Americans to question them, we're just supposed to follow them blindly. If they picked up a textbook, this country was founded by questioning The Powers That Be (which eventually led to a revolution.)
We were ALL fooled by President Bush about Iraq. Either he outright lied (and if he did, we still can't agree why) or all the money we pump into intelligence is for nothing, and we are coming to false conclusions. U.S. intelligence hasn't always been perfect, but I refuse to believe that the CIA is for nothing.
Which leaves us with Bush...

No people don't question them enough. They are not aware at all of all the little things being slipped into bills. They aren't looking at the details. Like this latest one designed to clarify what torture is and they are gearing it all around the terriorists and we didn't realize there was some skillful wording slipped in there that applies for them to be able to do it to you. Maybe just because of something you post on a web-site that goes against the government. They leave huge loop-holes to be subject to any change depending on who's reading it. They try and sweep it under the rug as if it's no big deal.....would never happen, but 25 years from now it might be and people wonder how this all got past them. When they wanted to raise the minimum wage there was a "little" do-dad added about inheratince tax and it looked like they voted down raising the wage but they voted it down because of the little rider added. The deal about "anchor babies" was written for citizenship for blacks who were slaves and was never finished and now that's what they are using as their drop a kid get citizenship with illegals. It's extreemly time consuming to read all these proposals and half the time the darn people in government don't actually read what they are signing. I swear you have to stay on them like children. They are counting on you to be too busy to bother checking up on them.

to respond to your question, specific, definitely. the U. S. government does in spite of it needs via claiming they are doing what "the american human beings want." whilst genuinely, i could wager that fifty% of what the U. S. government is doing could be denied if we, the american human beings, voted on each challenge. additionally, the government ignores protests and protestors as a minority of malcontents. The politicians oftentimes do no longer even see them because of fact they divert their motorcade, for "secure practices motives." So, the only skill the american human beings have is balloting and something like 60% of yank do no longer vote. So, the politicians in simple terms shop doing what they do, unchecked and under the impression of alcohol with skill.

Yes, but most people are brain dead and believe what the TV tells them. You know, that so-called left wing biased media which I am still looking for, by the way. No one questioned anyone about anything, because if you do, you look UNPATRIOTIC.
