I do blame all of America to an extent. And even then only those injustices which were sanctioned by the government (I don't know why you'd include the high incidence of sexual assault and rape of female military personnel)

You can't have a representative democratic government without accountability. That accountability rests with the government for the most part. But the government only exists because the majority of people support it so to a certain extent the American people themselves are to blame. Not individually speaking of course.

It's the same with Japan and whaling.
