I'm not sure what your particular genealogy is, but Britain certainly
cannot distance herself from all that, the initial campaigns and even
the attitude towards the natives here was largely conducted in the
colonial days by wealthy Englishmen who managed affairs here without
ever leaving England. Aristocrats who were, btw, forebears of few of
the general population, most of whom came here as fugitives or refugees
fleeing from the oppressive economic and social policies of those same
aristocrats. If Americans are like the Barker gang, England is like
Ma Barker, and cannot divorce herself from that legacy of oppression,
which she established not only here, but in Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa, Hong Kong, India, Turkey, Palestine... just to name a
few. It is to England's credit that she was not as passionately insane
as the French nor as cruelly depraved as the Spanish. I was just reading
the other day about how during the early days of Spanish presence in
Central and South America, a policy was practiced of requiring every
native to supply a quantity of gold every three months, and any who
failed to do so had their nose and hands cut off. Apparently great
numbers had their nose and hands cut off, judging by contemporary
descriptions.

payback is a *****, tho. go Algerian bombers go! wipe them out.

So yer all out to croak the froggies?
