Minime:

You are right, but the point I did not clearly state is that the "whole" government of any country is never at fault. Because of the complexities of governments, you can have cells of fanatics operating while being part of the government, yet not sanctioned to do what they decide by and for themselves.

The movie "Three Days of the Condor" was a perfect example of a renagade government cell that when found was terminated, but to cover the mess, the last remaining innocent (Robert Redford) had to be killed.

The movies "The Dogs of War", and "The Parallex View" showed how a small force or a series of actions could effect profound changes in a society or one persons life.

Accepting the realities of what could happen does not make one paranoid or unpatriotic.
