Thanks!

As well as the Native Americans, there are countless other interventions that, depending on which political flavour (flavor) dominates at a given time, will go one way or another.

Beyond that point, they should be spending their time on current problems, not past ones.

If it stands, should we not see the House pass the same resolution concerning Native Americans?<br/><br/>Were they not wiped out through an early form of biological warfare?! “More importantly, it is not the role of a Government to decide what history is; there can be no official version without grave risk of a government interfering unjustifiably in the process of discussion and debate.”

Great point.

I’m concerned about this precedent. If it stands, should we not see the House pass the same resolution concerning Native Americans?

Were they not wiped out through an early form of biological warfare?!
