And everyone knows that it had to be those savage indians who were at fault, too, because they could have had no reason for being hostile with the fuzzy cuddly teddy bear-like peace-loving vikings, right? ;0)
Chad, you know as well as I that Europeans have had their share of savages. But let's face it--the Iroquois as they exist today are little like their predecessors. They do not go raiding and killing on the merest whim. They do not bring captives home, chew off their fingers and burn them to death in the most gruesome ways. They do not still eat the flesh of their enemies with gusto. And they are not still tortured and eaten by their enemies with the same gusto.
Indeed, there are more Iroquois alive today than there ever were before Columbus set foot in the New World. And they no longer live in a perpetual state of war and carnage. Praise be to God!

I'm not denying that my ancestors were brutal. However, I'm also not denying that the Viking were brutal, either. ;0)
