Blackdog, I'm not sure it makes sense to make that comparison. I'd say what happened to Native Americans is pretty terrible too. Just like what happened to millions of Christian Armenians at the hands of the Turks is terrible too. Just like the atrocities in Sudan is terrible. The fact is the US is trying to fix one of these atrocities, and that is a good thing. Right100
Oh I don't disagree with your comment, I just find that Americans have a selective sense of right and wrong. Much of the rest of the world including other nations of English speaking peoples who have a command of world history find our frequent public positions on such matters to be hypocritical. As do I. It doesn't mean however that we should not try to do right today. I just make sure I look in the mirror first. Every time I hear of gassing Kurds or slaughtering a certain group/s of people somewhere, I make sure I remember Waco and Sonny Bono sobbing at the sight of the actions of his own government who is so quick to point at others. It does not mean there should be no pointing, but we need to point to ourselves every day as well. The end product will benefit everyone.
