Conquest and the taking over of others lands is something that has occurred since the beginni9ng of time. I just find it ludicrous to put the re-settlement of the Indians on the same level as the holocausts of the 20th century.

Your opinion.

1. When starting a controversial emotional argument with no real standings or facts. Try not to make egregious spelling errors like "beginni9ng".

2. The killing of the Indians, while NOT an equitable reason for some of the privileges they are being given now (my own opinion) was WORSE that the Holocaust in terms of sheer numbers on two fronts. First, it was simply MORE PEOPLE KILLED. Second? Look at the time frame, the # compared to the global population of the time is staggering.

3. While some tribes were definitely war-like in nature and posed threats to early colonists, many were not. Even more were not at the very start and only became so after hostilities arose.

AAMOF, WE started the whole scalping deal (I believe it was started to prove head count when certain forces hired the natives as mercenaries. They paid per scalp retrieved/obtained).

We killed far more than were EVER threatening us and liken killing every nation in the middle east as if they were all one and the same rather than different nomadic tribes each with their own positions and leadership.

So, rather than the simple "Liberal left blah blah where are my matches" comment. Try doing a bit of research first and produce something salient.
