If you want to pass judgment on countries for something they did 70 years ago, you have to look at what your own country has done in its past.

Yes all of that did happen. We did not kill all the Native Americans. They were given places to live. Our country did not hang blacks from the trees. That is a stupid comment. Ignorant white people did that, not the whole country. The Japenese were locked up for what they thought were good reasons back then. Japan should not have brought us into the war. The blacks sold their own people as slaves, so why not mention that in your statement? Did anyone ever say the US was perfect? No it is not, but it has changed a lot over time. America saved a lot of these countries asses, so they should be greatful. I think we should just tell them to help themselves next time and save ourselves the trouble.
