I agree Matt....perhaps a good read on the Trail of Tears might enlighten folk to the reality of this particular assertion as well as WHO were the first to use biological weapons against a people (genocide) and just who those people were. First Peoples (Native Americans) KNOW what it is like to live in an occupied territory in other words... not unlike the Palestinians and many other peoples globally. http://search.netscape.com/ns/search?query=Trail+of+tears

People rebel against US hegemony for the same reasons they rebelled against the dominance of earlier imperial powers, not out of a distaste for the culture of the rulers but out of an objection to undemocratic, unaccountable, self-serving rule by remote elites of whatever culture. A disbelief in the prerogatives or the beneficence of the American empire is not anti-American. Nor is it anti-American to be alarmed by features of US political culture, an alarm shared by many millions of Americans. http://www.cosmicrose.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
