The US has treated it's own indigenous people better

Let's not drift off into American hostory, but it is a releavnt parallel, and I think is one factor that may underlie how many Americans seem to see this tragic conflict.

I think that Bobert's comment there is a bit questionable though, looking at the period when the Native Americans were still capable of armed resistance. It'd be equally questionable to say the US treated them worse either. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose...
