This may well be the case. I was indeed, as Otto suspected, referring to 
Madeleine Albright's statement.

I didn't mean to accuse supporters of Hillary Clinton of being 
accomplices to murder but reading back on what I wrote it seems that I 
did. That was too harsh, and I apologize. What irks me is what I see as 
the moral failure of Democratic voters to demand that their candidates 
push for accountability of the current administration.

Me neither, and I don't believe I know more about the workings of the 
world than you do. Like everybody, I draw conclusions from the data 
available to me.
