Please point to any any nations that didn't have slavery, torture, murder, invasion and occupation. Let's see if we can whittle it down to the "perfect" nation. That nation which you believe has always been pure and wholesome. Some nation other than ours that went to war, sacrificing 360,000 soldiers to end slavery. Those nations that openly admit their past major failings in history. That nation that does not, nor has not had racism, past or present. Get back to me on your extensive list. Again, once you've done your eliminating, it must be a nation that is pure and wholesome. I'll get you started. We can eliminate ALL Marxist nations right out of the starting gate. We can eliminate all Military Juntas as well. All nations in which their religious institutions controlled the governments in the past and present will have to be eliminated. All nations that had monarchies have to be dropped off the list as well, as all nations with monarchies, even the smaller ones, embarked upon military campaigns outside their borders. How about Iceland as an example? Wait, their nation was founded by "warring" Vikings." That has to be excluded, for in the beginning their settlers fought with Vikings. Scandinavian nations fought other areas for territory and religion. How about African nations? Wait, they had territorial "tribal" wars to get resources and territory. Men and children were killed and the women were raped and taken into slavery. Well, you just keep thinking that we are some anomaly that has had a bad past and work on that search. Remember, 7.3 million people fled Socialism and others fled military juntas and religious persecution, all to come here for freedom and work, but not a return to those style governments. Anyway, you get back with me when you can pick out that perfect nation.
