This picture accompanied the editorial. I'm not sure whether it's the book's cover or a promo graphic.

Only the euros have the sack/ taint of immorality needed to engage in absolute genocide to make room for their families. Argentina anyone?

HISTORY was built on "Ethnic Cleansing".

I'm sure that before this is over, it will somehow turn out to be Bush's fault.

And the Indians "Ethnically Cleansed" other Indian tribes before whites even came on the scene.

I would say Texas was built by tough pioneers, in harsh conditions. If the natives attacked, kidnaped, tortured and killed the newcomers, well, the newcomers fought back. People with these soft hearts should watch the animal world and even better biology, now there is some rough play.

Hey it's alright! The English stole it from the Spanish who stole it from the aborigines. Remember the Alamo? P.S. ask the border patrol or the vigilantes or Tancredo:'Who owns it now?'. Those paths across desert have been documented to have probably been in use for tens of thousands of years. No harm , no foul. Grin and Bear it. Dale.

The Comanche were foes that wouldn't quit until their tribes were decimated and their horse herds destroyed, limiting their war-making ability, mostly by the US Army under McKenzie.

While the Rangers took no prisoners, their operations against the Comanche were mere pinpricks comparted to the sustained operations of the US Army after the Civil War.

I'll have to get the book.

I think the feds are holding some 'indian money', but they can't find it to count or return?

Ding, ding! We have a winner! What these professors conveniently forget is that tribal wars over hunting grounds were the natives' version of ethnic cleansing. After the white man came, rights to be the trading middlemen were another factor.

Anyway, what the Hell did the Indians do with the land when THEY had it? These Stone Age people were ripe for a takeover by any technologically advanced society, whether they were white, brown, black or polka-dotted. Evidently it's Whitey's fault that he got here first.
