We would force someone to sell to us by threat of an armed attack? I am afraid that’s not a reasonable course of action.

“We would force someone to sell to us by threat of an armed attack? I am afraid that’s not a reasonable course of action.”

We “forced” the Indians to give up North America using “armed attack”, and in many cases, it wasn’t even a “sale” — they got next to nothing in return.

Was -that- a “reasonable course of action”?

BTW, I have no problems with that, and think it was indeed.
