Never said it did make it right did I?
"So it's okay as long as someone else is doing it?"
But isn't this the argument you use for your brothers of peace?
As far as what we do today, been to a Casino lately?
"America's just done it the best"
Have you ever seen what the conquistadors did to the Mexican Indians? Maybe if you but down your hate America handbook you might actually learn the truth about the americas.

  You are spouting state propaganda again! Of the type that the US has always used to justify theft of one-third of Mexico or the invasion of Cuba on five occasions. You should learn some real history instead of the sop taught in US schools.
  Actually the Spanish crown beat the US by about 350 years. Slavery was banished by Spain in 1508 and the ban was reinforced in 1542. The Jesuits, especially Bartolme de las Casas, were instrumental in this ban. The legal and religious basis for the ban was medieval catholic teachings that indigenous people were entitled to rule their own countries, even if they were not christians. The US and Britain lost this tradition when the Brits abandoned catholicism for political reasons.
  Consequence: we massacred the indians, whereas, apart from disease, indigenous populations remained strong throughout latin america. Can you imagine if 60% of the US population were indigenous, as is the case in Peru?
