"...Another nation-building failure. So what else is new."Uh, they burned women as witches in Salem, Massachusetts at one point in OUR history.
One generation or two is but a blink of an eye in terms of time and long-term successful results.

Not to be picky,
but they didn't burn witches.
They hanged them, crushed them,
or they died in jail.
And almost half of the dead
were men. Damn details . . .

Um, no, there were no witch-burnings in this country. Hangings yes, burnings no.
