i imagine that were you confronted with this and were your home at stake in it, you'd not find that a terribly compelling line of thinking.

Yes, nevermind history - lets make an emotional appeal for pity and hope people feel sorry for us. Its whats kept this war going for 60+ years now. I'm sure this exact line of thinking runs through the minds of your champions in hamas as they carry out their twisted intrepatation of the quran. As far as native americans, bummer for them...if you care to have a look, they're still around and living a peaceful existence - running casinos, tending to their communities, attending college, building roman candles. They don't have to struggle to keep warm in the winter anymore, or risk their lives hunting wild animals for food, or die a slow agonizing death from sleeping on a smallpox infested blanket. The defeat of the indians paved the way to a free and comfortable existence for millions of Americans; the defeat of the Indians made possible things like personal computers, the internet and the iPod. Think of it like this: in Cherokee Nation, there would be no tfp. Now how sad is that?
