Yeah, right. The whites were enslaved by Native Americans. Any more stupidities you can think of?

Is it time to haul regressive moron Cal Thomas before one of his "cultural war crimes tribunals"?! The last two sentences are gems. It is so relevant now because the same Iraq "experts" are now advocating that we attack Iran. Cal Thomas, April 15, 2003 : When the Berlin Wall fell and Eastern Europe escaped from the shackles of communism, I wrote that we must not forget the enablers, apologists and other "fellow travelers" who helped sustain communism's grip on a sizable portion of humanity for much of the 20th century. I suggested that a "cultural war crimes tribunal" be convened, at which people from academia, the media, government and the clergy who were wrong in their assessment of communism would be forced to confront their mistakes. While not wishing to deprive anyone of his or her right to be wrong, it wouldn't hurt for these people to be held accountable. That advice was not taken - but today we are presented with another opportunity in the form of scores of false media prophets who predicted disaster should the U.S. military confront and seek to oust the murderous regime of Saddam Hussein. The purpose of a cultural war crimes tribunal would be to remind the public of journalism's many mistakes, as well as the errors of certain politicians and retired generals, and allow it to properly judge their words the next time they feel the urge to prophesy... All of the printed and voiced prophecies should be saved in an archive. When these false prophets again appear, they can be reminded of the error of their previous ways and at least be offered an opportunity to recant and repent.

After 4+ years, 3500 US soldiers killed, tens of thousands maimed, hundreds of billions of dollars spent, this is what we get : Iraqi PM al-Maliki told Lara Logan of CBS Evening News in an exclusive interview on Wednesday that he has a real fear of a coup by the Iraqi army. Al-Maliki said that some of the officer corps have been creating problems and even violating the security of military operations. So, a coup by the Iraqi Army - which was trained and armed by us?! Can anybody think of a bigger disaster than this?

And before that just about every major group enslaved other groups in ancient times. Germans, Celts and Greeks and others where enslaved by Romans. The Carthaginians, the Greeks, and the Persians had slaves. Before them the Egyptians did as did other civilizations. And such slavery was not limited to the regions I mentioned. The Chinese had slaves, as did other Asian cultures. The pre-Spanish empires in what is now Latin America had slaves. Its pretty hard to think how anyone could have not had ancestors that where slaves.
