Richard, I don't think we, in the USA, have a corner on the market. The Spanish conquest of Central and South America are excellent examples. So you are saying that the USA took land away from the government that took it away from the Anasazi is the bad guy. We era when we look back on history using todays knowledge. I believe that the USA learned a powerful lesson from the "Manifest Destiny" days and has become a bastion of freedom because of it. I will not whip myself in the here and now over historical fact; but, I will as the White House recently said use them as teachable moments.
BTW, I is my understanding that Native Americans never understood the concept of land ownership. That was imported to this land much like the common cold was to Hawaii--on a ship.
