Reading through this it sounds so similiar to World History in Gerneral.

The conquerors conquer, Whether its Babylon, Egypt, China, the Mongols, Greece, Rome, France, England, Germany, Dutch, those with the technology conquer those without and establish some form of slavery. Imperialism is the way of history and certainly when Western Europe began its conquering of North America it was the same thing. The doctrine of Manifest Destiny. Yet even within the Native American Society the same thing was going on. Tribe conquering another tribe and taking slaves, etc. No group of people is less guilty of this uncivilized activity. Yet, the same old stuff continues on. Iraq would have conquered all they could have if it weren't for the two Gulf Wars. Its just one big circle that has gone around since civilization was invented. Its the old testament over and over again and again.
