re: our teachers, We ARE the Dutch, the Germans, the etc. The English were very adept at placing the Dutch, the Germans, etc. between them and the Indians in the early days of this country. The accepted norm of attitude and sensibilities was quite different than they are today. Enlightenment continues and our 20-20 hindsight just gets better and better with each new trend. We, today are as much a product of our culture as our ancestors were of theirs. Out great grandchildren will tsk, tsk, us from their lofty point of view and wonder how we could ever have thought such thoughts or done such things!

I met Lame Deer, A Chief of the Ogalala in the mid '70s. He was a very charming and learned man. Indeed, why would you inflict Saddam on the Ogalala?
