like how those American rebels went on to destroy Indian reservations
through slaughter and starvation No, by then the Americans were "conquerors" -- again, not to be confused with "terrorists" -- on their way to capturing the continent. The reservations came later, after the Indian conquest was complete. You really should carefully study the fine distinctions between the words "rebel," "terrorist," "defender," and "conqueror," in the English language, as these differences are critically important in any cogent discussion of world history. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Still does not change the fact that the conquerors operated a policy of genocide. By modern standards a crime against humanity which would not be tolerated today.
