I don't know why citizens should suffer or get punished for their leaders mistakes. Even in Ezekiel 18:20 says the person or people who sin should die not the innocent people. Instead of punishing our leaders, we are the one suffering for the mistakes of our leaders. After all, we are not the one who signed for any war or sitting in a high chair in their office. We the citizens are struggling looking for how to survive, provide for our family,not that we should be punished.
