Many examples like My Lai carried out by American troops can be cited from the Indian wars. Deliberate small pox can be considered use of a biological WMD.

You make such long, sweeping, rambling posts that it takes too much effort to point out all the anti American mistakes that you make.

There was never any small pox used on Indians by the United States and what are the many atrocities carried out by US army troops against Indians?

If the US didn’t inflict genocide on the Native Americans, then there is no such thing as “genocide” and our troops should be fully engaged in doing all the things we did to the NA’s on a daily basis to anyone who crosses our path.

If you are not willing to admit genocide, what about “war crimes” no matter what laws and treaties were in effect at the time?

There is much debate about whether or not the US comitted Genocide on the Native Americans.

I for one, maintain the US did engage in genocide of Native Americans.

And I make no apologies for it.

Gotta do what ya gotta due when implementing a righteous doctrine of Manifest Destiny which indeed it was.

Now, just because I don’t apologize for what I consider genocide against the NA’s doesn’t mean I don’t respect them or think that its still a shame in the general sense of the word. However they were also stone age savages who practiced torture, genocide, slavery and brutality despite all the “Nobel Savage” stuff.

Look, I’m just a realist. I understand many have problems with that.

So now that’s settled.

Ok, for the sake of argument lets strip the Native American question out of the discussion.

How about addressing point by point the other atrocities the US has been engaged in?

Again, to remind you sir - I am in the camp that both acknowledges history - and make no bones about it.

I don’t apologize for any of it - one whit. And why should I?
