Heyyyy Marko....that's amazing, coz i also watched/rented a documentary on the real history of six Native American tribes in America (Iroquis, Shawnee, Navajo, Seminole, Lakota, Chyanne)...what our gov did to them at every turn was disgusting, cruel, murderous, immoral and barbaric in modern terrorists terms. We effectively committed genocide upon their people by starving them, burning villages, mudering their woman n children, forcing them to walk hundreds of miles without proper clothing n food...in most cases they tried desperately to get out of our way by moving or signing treaties, which we broke every time.
I'm not proud of this horrible American history that never gets taught in schools, and so i don't think we should be so quick to condemn other nations...we were as brutal as most dictators 150 years ago.
peace...tony

Glad you're ok Tony!
I seen a documentary this weekend that was very disturbing to me, it was on Discovery called 500 Nations: The First Americans and their version of the history and how they repeatedly got stabbed in the back over and over, it was very depressing to see how we treated these American natives it reminded me of how Hitler tried to wipe out the Jews.
Very hard to swallow!
And you won't read this stuff in our history books but they're building a museum in DC to remember people like Cheif Big Foot.
