Bill, when people start doing the math regarding the death of Indians at the hands of both non-Indians and of other Indians in alliance with the whites (it is always a mistake to assume all Indians think alike or cooperated among themselves) millions died. It's folly to try to compare genocide to genocide and one is not more valid than another. Disabuse yourself of that in a hurry, please.

How shall we do this math? Thousands a year die over (2-3)thousands of years (amounting to millions), or millions die over (6)hundreds of years? Can you really say one is more egregious than the other? I think not. The point is, the U.S. is in no position itself to go telling other nations how to fix their problems. They have never fixed their own.
