While that comment doesn't attach directly to the "Genocide" article here, if combined with this article, some of the hows and whys behind the foreign policy of the United States Government should start to become evident.

Duh, "America" didn't commit all them genocides of Native Americans, it was Spain, Portugal, Britain, and Canada. Yes, the U.S. brought up the rear and cheated tribe after tribe out of their land, but they were always a country of laws not men, which made sure to get a treaty first that would stand up in court. When the U.S. military massacred helpless natives, they usually tried to cover it up to the people, and when they couldn't, prosecutions resulted.

Yes, America treated blacks like dung, but it was mainly Arab Muslims who sold them the African slaves in the first place.  Meanwhile they mistreated massive numbers of them that weren't sent to America but instead sent eastward.

Of course the U.S. was a mainly Christian nation, but too bad the Christians were split between those who put precedence over the Old Testament, which condones slavery, and those who put it over the New, which also accepts it but actually teaches a spirit of emancipation, and we know which side won after a bloody white-on-white civil war. The U.S. Civil War caused the U.S.  to pay for its sin of slavery bigtime, and despite Jim Crow etc. it broke the back of white supremacy.

In horrible Muslim Ottoman Turkey, all they had was the Quran, which fully accepts slavery, and calls Christians like the Armenians blasphemers and idolaters who are to be distrusted and hated by true Muslims.  Cutting them loose for mass starvation was fun for them probably.  Too bad, despite many attempts at whipping up U.S. support, it opted out.  I'm sure that if the U.S. sent to the military to Turkey, Comrade Lendman would call that Yankee capitalist imperialism anyway.

The problem with history is that you have to respect the distance of time.  Yes, the U.S. has its dirty laundry, but it also has a long record of cleaning the laundry up and passing ever better and fairer laws.  Turkey had its Kemal Ataturk Spring, but thanks to handing the Quran to their kids it's sliding backwards. The refusal of Erdogan to accept the fact of the Armenian Genocide is living proof.

As long as Muslims hand the Quran to their kids to imbibe, all the lessons the U.S. can teach it will be wasted.  When will Comrade Lendman do a hit piece on the Quran? Because he's afraid of exposing himself by offering Das Kapital as the alternative? :)  I'll stick with the U.S. Constitution.

 Well TL, I gather that you have never actually read the Q'ran. If you had, you might have noticed that one of the things you could do to help you enter Paradise was to free slaves.
