"Gee, guess you're right. After all, look at our "Indians"; they now constitute the world's largest democracy. Where are all your "Indians" now, please remind me?"
they are running casinos and getting the benifiet of having two govenments to choose from. the ones who aren't doing well are at least alive.. they would not have been allowed to live if the tribe next to them had anything to do about it.
your indians? LOL... what an armpit of a country. If you see the army there you better run.
What is the differnce between the way the U.S. treated the indians and the way the brits treated every country? first off...In the U.S. the brits treated "our indians" even worse than we did.
We did not overthrow the legitimate rullers and enslave the population like british colonialism.. There was no govenment of "indians' to overhrow.. we made treaties with various tribes that got broken by the citizens of both the tribes and the U.S.
we played by their rules.. they had no concept of land ownership... the most powerful tribe moved in.. we were the most powerful tribe. You, on the other hand... moved cross the ocean to attack a soverign govenment and then enslave the population for your own profit.
I would say that africa is most like the America of our indians... many tribes all killing each other and ruining the land as they go.. the only restraints being that the land healed before they got back and disease and warfare keeping the population down.
but... I am willing to hear about another example of where the U.S. conquered and enslaved a soverign nation or even one where the brits left one better off than before they got there.
