Whilst the subject of "ethnic cleansing" is high on the topic of debate....

lets bring up a few HISTORICAL points...

Hmmm lets see.....................Genocide.......

How about WHITE Americans commiting acts of genocide against the native people? Kinda sounds like ethnic cleansing to me......does that make it any better or worse than what Hitler attempted? No it doesn't, both are heinous evil acts THAT SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. I'm sure it gets skipped over in US history class tho

& before anyone thinks I'm anti American.......Im a Brit & I'm WELL AWARE of the fact that The British Empire INVENTED the CONCENTRATION CAMP during the BOER WAR which was fought during 1899-1901.


Just changing the subject slightly.......had the misfortune of watching PEARL HARBOUR & was amazed at some of the liberties taken by Messers Bruckheimer & Bay, although rightly I should be pointing the finger of death at the script writers!

Hmm the first instance that annoyed me................the RAF pilots casual comment about "how the Yankee pilots would single handedly win the War"

& secondly the notion that the War didn't start until the bombing of Pearl Harbour!

Now these may seem inconsequential or perhaps even trivial to most of you, but to me I find it totally unbelievable! Just want to clarify something here....

To you Americans out there..........during your history classes do you study WW2? If so...what period do you study? By this I mean, do you study the War as a whole or just the American involvement? It does make me wonder whether US kids are taught that WW2 didn't start until 1941! I realise "it's just a film" I'm just curious.
