Imagine what would have happened if a group had tried to intervene and help out the American Indians, they would have been slaughtered right along side them. I see no differance between what happened here from what is happening in Israel today. Some far off government gave the land to some power hungry people and the right to brush the natives off, or just wipe them out. The Indians used scalping as a guerilla tactic, and the Palestinians use suicide bombs, but what can you expect they are David going up against Goliath. (hehe bad example eh? )
