"They" are us. We are not a direct democracy, but, rather, a respresentative democracy. "They" have the power that we gave them when we elected them. Blame those among your fellow Americans who voted for war hawks and supply-sider tax cutters. Our real adversary is the ignorance of the American people.
Politics is all about exploiting people's ignorance.
