Perhaps, due to the way the present America was taken by force from
the original inhabitants, war is in the cultural heritage of the us
somewhat seen as a legitimate and effective means to an end, much more
than in europe.
That's an interesting idea, maybe true.

Do you actually believe this stuff, or do you pick it up on some secret
"wishful thinking" history website for fascist morons?
I suggest reading a basic U.S. history text... 5th grade is probably about
right.

Maybe you should read those books again. You have a selective memory as
indeed these facts were taught in my history books in Florida in the Fifth
grade. The Indians must have been killed by violence because the white man
is evil and the US government practices genocide. That is your world
view..... The truth is man is NOT inherently evil just stupid.

To be historically accurate Europeans are responsible for the deaths of most
of the Indians killed in the Continental United States.
