I'm afraid I don't understand your point. Are you saying America was just as bad in the past? _Every_ country has done bad things in the past. I think we are quite past the point now where a lynching would be considered 'acceptible' by members of society. It seems like you are saying we should not cast blame against their society becase we as well have done evil in the past. Well, our evil is just as unacceptible as theirs - I wouldn't accept it no matter where it happened.
