@Reinaert53 Exactly what "native Americans" do you mean? The ground sloth, saber-toothed tiger? Dire wolf? Or Wooly Mammoths who were slaughtered by pre-historic humans who came over the land bridge in the Bering Straight from Asia? Get off the political correct crap. The Indians were a stone age group of different tribes who warred on each other. The Europeans were a more successful tribe. Some of what was done to the Indians in the latter 19th century and later was tragic.

@squirell1952 No we didn't. You can't call it a war in the regular sense. USA was a military adviser to South Vietnam. Whenever our troops met North Vietnamese troops in combat, we were successful. We pulled out not defeated, but rather done and tired of propping South Vietnam up. Had we gone with the intent to conquer we would have destroyed them. The same thing is going on today, we are growing tired of propping ignorant Arabs up and will soon allow them to fall on their faces.

@Reinaert53 Why don't people like you understand that everyone in the world can't be the same. There are the rich and the poor, Africans will starve while the west gets fat. Asians will die of diseases from dirty water, while we water our lawn with potable water. We should not feel guilt, we should feel pride. We have no obligation to make sure the world is fed and healthy. We are all different, not the same. Our genetics and cells make us all different, lets weed out the weak.
