I don't know what sources you read about "Wounded Knee". But it was not a Massacre. As for Eygpt- no one has believed that the pyramids were built by slaves for 50 years now. They were masive public works projects during the non growing seasons and the workers were paid. The graveyards have been exhumed and they are not the graves of slaves. Competition among worker gangs existed and this is evident in ancient graffitti. Ancient Eygpt didn't have the technology to control the number of slaves it would have required to build such stuctures.

As for your assertions about Russians hitting hard targets and Americans and British just wantonly killing civilians - don't make me laugh. Don't get me wrong- Americans and British did target civilians in bombing. But once again lets go to the record. Where did Germans civilians flee once East Prussia and then other parts of Germany were invaded by the Russians? To the West and by the millions. I have read many accounts of Wermacht behavior in Russia and it runs the gamut from the obscene to the compassionate. But the behavior of Russian troops in Germany and even Poland was just murderous and disgusting. I just finished "The Fall of Berlin: 1945" by Beevor. You should read it.

Technology to control slaves? What BS is this crap? You are a revisionist of the first order...first I guess by no one, you must mean no Christians, including quite a few archeologists...hell switch on some education channels like Discovery or History Channel....seems they still subscribe to the idea of the Hebrew slaves...and then there's that whole Bible thing. Neborkanizer took the whole city of Jerusalem as slave and moved it, the Assyrians took the 10 tribes and numerous other peoples as slaves, whole handedly...but why would you believe that, it doesn't fit your mold...by the way, the Jews never built all of the pyromids...there was the whole Exodus thing...maybe you've read about it?

As for the Germans, first, destruction of civilian housing targets was not some fantasy but reality, however undeniable fact. Please have some integrity and go talk to some Germans old enough to remember...as for running to the West, they took the lesser of two evils and considering the genocide they committed in the murder of 12 million Russian civilians, the Soviet army only killed a small fraction of that...that's why there were still Germans around in Poland, Czeck and Yugoslavia for them to oust the following year. Ooops, there goes history. That is why my uncle a Russian Armor Colonel summery executed one of his officer for the rape of a german female. Damn those problamatic facts.

As for Wounded Knee, I sent you the sites...did you bother to read them or just write them off?
