This statement and idea is incorrect. We have a representative form of
Government. We vote for the people who then vote about issues such as war.
I have a complete say by voting for people.
In any AL it will be the same. You have no choice in the matter.
OTOH maybe you have a Utopia we could learn from.

I thank joop for making the points he did so well and further refining the issues specially that neither the american people nor the iraqi people will be voting on war, meaning they have no say.  We however do have a say in what happens in our name on many issue to the global internet and the IDN issue for example, amongst many others.   our energies are all what we have at times and it is efficiently and effectively spent when directed in those direction as you stated with your example of Karl. but we need more.

Again, Democracy, transparency and legitimacy are the mandatory fundamentals. let us all start demanding them.

Warmest regards, and merry christmas and happy new year to all
