#1 But the world is full of dislocated peoples and we ourselves live in a country where the Indians were pushed out of the way so that -- oh, what irony! -- the owners of slaves could spread liberty and democracy from sea to shining sea.

A crock of BS. Thank you Google.

Statistics show that just under 3,600 Native Americans served in the Union Army during the war. Perhaps the best known of their number was Colonel Ely Parker, who served as an aide to General U. S. Grant, and was present at Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House. Statistics for the Confederacy are not reliably available, but most scholars of Native American involvement in the actual fighting of the war are very well acquainted with the major Southern figure among them: Brigadier General Chief Stand Watie, a three-quarter blood Cherokee who was born in December 1806 near what would become Rome, Georgia. Stand Watie was one of the signers of a treaty that agreed to the removal of the Cherokee from their home in Georgia to what was then the Oklahoma territory; this split the tribes into two factions, and Stand Watie became the leader of the minority party.

At the outbreak of the Civil War, the minority party gave its allegiance to the Confederacy, while the majority party went for the North. Watie organized a company, then a regiment known as the First Cherokee Mounted Rifles; the regiment fought at Wilson's Creek, Elkhorn, and in numerous smaller fights and skirmishes along the border with what was known as Indian Territory. The warriors found curious the white man's strategy of standing still and allowing people to shoot at them, or lob artillery shells at them; the Cherokee tended to be spectacular at wildly brave mounted charges, but once the artillery began to fire, the warriors wanted nothing to do with it. Stand Watie was unreconstructed to the end; it is believed he never surrendered until June 23, 1865, well after other Confederate commanders had given up. He died in 1871 and is buried in the Old Ridge Cemetery in Delaware County, Oklahoma.

#2 Actually if the Isreali response to Hezbollah and Hamas and Al Qaeda were "proportionate" to what these groups were trying to do, the IDF would have turned South Lebanon into a vast sheet of radioactive glass.
Why can't these "journalists" who are actually "propogandists" realize that all of these Jihadist groups want the complete and utter obliteration of all things western and modern......and most of all all things Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu...etc.,
It is in all reality the confrontation between the forces that brought mankind into civilization and the forces that want us to live in the 7th century in dung heaps.
Let's just say that if these "diplomats" really stopped and thought about it........the last thing they really want is a Proportional response out of Isreal.
I think that most career diplomats in the UN view non-stop negotiation as job security...whether it solves anything or not......."Hey Let's exchange letters on the problem and meet in Davos for a conference"

#5 The fake one Nemble. I have better things to do besides follow the jerk around.

The Proportionate Response is total war in the U.S. Grant mold. The Jew haters and TRANZIs in EUrope and the US know this full well.
