If the US government had drones in 1840... [View all]

would it have been moral and ethical for the US government/wealthy private interests to use drones, or any other type of violent force, to kill off Native Americans in order to subjugate them, take their land, confiscate their resources, and force them to adopt Euro-American religions, economic systems, and all modes and customs of Euro-American culture?

For the record, I'm absolutely not an al Qaeda (or whatever the new vogue spelling of al Qaeda is) sympathizer, I have despised Hitler, Nazis, and all other fascists since I was in the womb, and do not believe that Saddam Hussein was a swell guy. But I definitely am a supporter of the rights of indigenous peoples everywhere to be free from the worldwide "Divine Right of Manifest Destiny Rule and Law" imposed by Globalist Bankster Economic Imperialistic Wealthy Private Interests. I consider myself to be a democrat.
