		<description>Amazing resource, thanks alot. one quote jumps out at me though.

“The most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages, though it is apt to be also the most terrible and inhuman. The rude, fierce settles who drove the savage from the land lays all civilized mankind a debt to him. American and Indian, Boer and Zulu, Cossack and Tartar, New Zealander and Maori–in each case the victor, horrible though many of his deeds are, has laid deep foundations for the future greatness of a mighty people.”
Theodore Roosevelt in:
Morris, Edmund
The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt

The worst genocides of history are all justified in one quote. I&#039;m sure Goebbels if he was alive, would have thrown in the europeans and the jews. Not savages because they were civilized and successful, you might say. If left to a Goebbels, I am sure he would be able to make adequate comparisons to fit them into the category. So, this means the actions of the settlers to America some of whom gave small pox infested blankets to American indians wiping out families was ultimately righteous. It is justified by the current mightiness of America. Whose to say what mighty is anyway,  50% of the population of America is obese, their favourite past times are shopping and eating. The country that they stole from the Indians, which was pristine when they got it, is now one big coast to coast shopping mall. This is a nice example of how we justify atrocities with language.</description>
