Syrians, Iraqis, Libyans, Afghans, South Asians—one way or another, directly or indirectly, immediately or at a slight remove, they are all victims of the policies through which the Western powers have sought over centuries to impose their will upon weaker people they thought worth disrupting, subjugating and exploiting.
Where is the land that huddles behind the Statue of Liberty in all this, the nation of immigrant populations? As close to nowhere as it can manage. In my estimation, the denial of history among Americans will prove much harder to overcome as the non-West and the South flee the calamities we have done so much to make.

How long do colonial and former colonial Western Countries have to take the blame for? Is there an end date like there was with other colonial countries? like Turkey, the Ottoman empire seems to have been forgiven for their centuries of atrocities. What about Romans, don't they take any blame? or China or Egypt?
