    Seriously?
    Watergate and all the mafia style of Nixon was not bad?

    Iran-Contra affair was no bad crime against US law done by the Reagan administration?
    And as evil as Saddam was, there were many evil and all the reasoning to attack Saddam were based on lies! It was a pure payback issue and it is proofed and conformed by Bush people too, that it was still planned to attack Saddam when the election campaign was running and Bush not being elected?

    Why should stolen property be returned to its original owners?

    Isn't it strange and rediculous that the Demicrat party was once not all, but many supporting the South and slavery and racism ... and today it is reversed with Republicans playing this same card against immigrants and black people etc.?

    No such thing as native Americans, you clearly don't know enough on the subject, unless you fancy yourself a Geneticist!

    Then there is no such thing as a “native European” and I shouldn’t care about whites there being displaced by brown people, yes?

    Should we split up the United Kingdom into all the different clans and kingdoms it used to be before it was united through conquest? In the US, who do we return the land to? If we took the lands from the iroquois nation, but they conquered it from other tribes when those tribes refused to be part of that nation, do we give it to the iroquois or the tribes before them? Where does it end? Your suggestions are absurd. No one alive today was robbed of their lands.

    Nope, evolution, roaming tribes and conquering of land and resources! Do yourself a favor and simply google it!

    Really? When did Congress pass the law that started chopping up native lands for private developers? There are most certainly people alive who have had lands stolen from them today.

    Its so amazing how you justify what happening now with what happened in the past, but seem to condemn the exact same thing in the past when it was done by whites. I see where you are trying to go with this line of questioning, was it wrong for Europeans to do it in the past? No, cause that's how it worked everywhere on earth. Is it "wrong" to do it the same way today? Nope, but you will have many people who are willing to defend the conquered and they usually have a bigger might than those trying to take land. America, being the strongest in the world, is trying to set the example of the day by not "conquering" the lands they have invaded in the past 100 years. Mostly, the original owners of the land are still in charge. Iraqis still control Iraq. Germans still control Germany. Etc. IF America still lived by the old world ethics of conquering and controlling, America would have the entire world ruled by now.

    There are other cultures and people trying to take land by force, and honestly I don't see why America should play by the new rules when there are people who are trying to live by the old rules. Its as stupid as the British trying to fight colonist in the old style of lining up in formations dressed in bright red uniforms while the colonists where using ambush and guerilla tactics.

    Bush started a war backed on lies to fool the US people and the world wothout any reason and so illegal way ... mad out of own imcompetence of his administration out of Iraq a mad house, created a Vietnam 2.0 with many thousand wounded and killed US soldiers and many more Iraqi people ....
    And you serious tell everything was good what Bush did ... and maybe blame Obama for the retreat which was the will of the clear majority of US people to go out of this toll house?

    The CIA Director insisted that evidence of WMDs in Iraq was a "slam dunk". Thus the Bush Admin did not lie about WMDs in Iraq.

    Isn't it strange how many people promote these lies about Republicans regarding immigration and Black people?

    What do you think the people pushing these lies are trying to hide?

    Taking out Saddam was a good thing. The man and his sons were monsters.

    I’m trying to get a consistent, non-hypocritical answer from Conservatives but it seems the position is that whites get “no take backsies” and brown people just get to live with being screwed.

    Of course it is absurd here to make any demands from issues of history as far as land is concerned. Maybe the ancient Romans = today's Italy simply can demand today the area of their Roman Emapire of once to get back? Just to give an example!

    On the other hand, you should never evil, so that usually associated deeds that were evil even after valid moral index of time, displace and talk nicely!

    Even more to the point were the actual field reports from weapons inspectors on the ground in Iraq.

    Anyone who wants the actual truth should read the reports delivered to the UN during the '90's and into 2000-2003.

    https://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/iraq/un/index_unscom-reports.htm

    This "no proof" BS would disappear if the media actually attempted to do that and comment on what was reported.

    Isn’t it strange how you just make crap up? Republicans are not racist. Racists are racist. They have no problem with immigrants, they have problem with ILLIEGAL immigrants. Big difference.

    Really.. I would think you would actually research it and review peer reviews on the subject! But I get this feeling that proof and logic goes against your grain and personal ideology :(

    How are brown people being screwed? Who is taking their land? Everyone today can buy and own land, regardless of race. Unless you live in South Africa, then you get your land confiscated if you are white.
