TM - Geeeez! Japan was a "conquered nation" (remember the bomb thing) and we turned that country into one of the world economic machines (please don't say otherwise; I'm an army brat). We didn't do that out of guilt, but out of political necessity (they were the eastern commie fighters). Do we treat Germany like a conquered nation? And these folks were "conquered" a lot later than any Indian Tribes. And I'm sure Potter begs the question....what war did western Washington Indians ever fight with settlers?

Or I guess you think that the Skoks and Cherokee are the same; kind of like Germany and France.
