On the issue of the American indians, you got me. I don't have an easy answer. But I can say this for sure. Even if a gang of indians terrorized a nearby town, robbing raping, and killing some of the locals, the correct solution would not be to bomb the entire reservation with white phosphorus bombs, roll through it with tanks, drop bombs from the air, blow up all the houses, shell children as they played outside, destroy their water and sewer systems, and restrict food deliveries to starve even the women and children who had nothing whatsoever to do with the incidences. Those tactics are not the way to uphold law and order, those tactics are for wiping out an entire race of people.
