What about the 10 million American Indians who were here?

Well, a lot of them were killed by the English and French, some by the Spanish, Dutch, Germans, etc. Up until 1776 there were no Americans to kill anybody. In the Westward expansion there were indians killed, but in fact far fewer than most people think. Many were killed by diseases brought not by Americans but brought before America existed.

And if you want to go back in history, of course, you could easily argue that most countries which survive to the present day had an imperialistic past. Else they wouldn't have survived to the present.
