People have short memories and don't read. That's why you don't hear about the past much, unless it's fairly recent and made into something that's on TV.
The oppressors of the past are the victims of today, and vice versa. And who knows who will be on top in the future. I don't get all bent out of shape over it. Every group of people has had or will have their day in the sun, and none have been shown to be any kinder than those who came before or who followed.
Allahu Akbar, everyone! Lol

Its not just Christianity. We the Americans have done many evil deeds in our history. Genocide the Native Americans, nuke the Japanese, invade countries under false pretenses, Shock and Awe on civillion populations, We fire bombed Dresdon Germany in WWII. The air got so hot from all the white phosphorus incindiary ordinance that it caught on fire. More people died there than in Hiroshima. Dresdon was not a military target. It was civilian. We did the same thing to Tokyo, we firebambed the hell out of Tokyo. Did Tokyo have any military value? Well, Japanese people lived there. It was revenge on Japan for Pearl Harbor and all those "island hopping" battles where american soldiers payed dearly against Japanese soldiers to get territory that probably in the long run did not matter for the outcome of the war. Japanese civillians. Fair game I guess.
Same as in Bagdad. Did Bagdad have any military value? I doubt it. It did make for good television though. Shock and awe...kaboom! Besides, there were definately Iraq people there. After 911 Iraq was are sworn enemy so they deserved what they got. Wait a minute. I forgot, there were no iraq people involved in 911. Oh well, they wore turbins.Thats a good enough reason to bomb them and invade their country I guess. The list goes on and on.
We really are not the white hat cowboy good guys that they taught me about in History books so long a go. We have our agenda. We pardoned many of the Nazi doctors who did live vivisection and experients on prisoners of war so we could pick their brains of what they learned. Same with the Japanese. Those axis countries were ruthless to conquered populations. We took their research which was done on POWs to put to our own uses after WWII.
Like what do you think happens if you inject someone with a dose of anthrax? Duh, they die. Well Adolph, lets just take 100 jews and inject them all with antrax. Let see if they all die at the same time. Really valuable experiments.
If you look at the messersmit ME 262 jet fighter of WWII the early America jets is basically copies of Me 262, Same with the early Apollo rockets. Copies of the German V2 rocket which were used to terrorize civillian populations in WWII.
Maybe I am wrong but it seems of questionable ethics to take data that was acquired by such horrible ways as live vivsection on humans, much less animals and use it. We are largely not the good guys in this world. We are just as bad as anyone else historically speaking.
