It did start out somewhat facetiously and yet as usual I found myself defending it once attacked
But what i do believe is that the majority of people in North America died off by diseases which their immune systems couldn't handle. Which was largely a sort of convenient coincidence for the settlers, not an intentional campaign of biological warfare.
The actual raping and pillaging and atrocities that occurred was obviously not justified. But what prompted my initial comments was OH's over dramatic rendition of history that America is unredeemable while Germany isn't cause the US was built on genocide etc. The Holocaust was far worse and more recent than anything the US ever did.
