Yes, the dying child did not ask for what has happened to him or her but left it in the hands of the adults who, like you, applauded the Americans at every turn, even when it was obvious that they were getting ready to confront Russia militarily, then China.
Try to see yourself lowering the shuddering body to the ground, laying it gently on the blackened soil. You will be crying, Lego, and gone will be your endless apologies for U.S. imperialism.
"God damn, they tricked me," you'll whisper softly. "God damn them! I'm sorry my child," you'll say but it'll be too late.
And then you'll ask, "How could I be so blind?"
No one will answer you, Lego.
