21. Don't phrase it that way please.
White men aren't the only men who have launched expansionist wars, and Americans aren't the only guilty party.

I read 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' when I was in Junior High 30 years ago, and the story has stayed with me ever since. America treated the Indians despicably. It's too late to turn back the clock, the only thing we can do is remember our mistakes and vow never to repeat them.

100 years from today, I don't want children reading a book about how American imperialism exterminated Iraqis or Venezualans or any other race or country.
