The key word is history there. Sure, two hundred years ago, a hundred years
ago even, the world was a much different place. the value of human life in
the eyes of society at large was alot less. I agree with you that the
ruthless slaughter of the native americans was horrific and unjustified.
That doesnt change the horribility(sp? -- even a word?) of what went on
03/31/2004 in Fallujah.

While not a scholar, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on my country's
history, but then again I am always willing to learn, which is why I asked
the question "Does anyone have any information where mobs of americans have
done this
to anyone, ever"
In the mean time, I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next news reports of a
terrorist attack here, or someplace else and we'll see WHO dances in the
street, and WHO doesnt.
Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say 'ni' at will to
old ladies.There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred. Even
those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic
stress at this period in history.
