[Vision2020] Why is this not treason?

[g. crabtree]

Mr. Moffett pontificates:

"O course, the meta-ideology of the cultural hegemonic agenda that
justifies
our sense of empowerment that we should control resources globally, and
the political/economic future of the world, goes unexamined.  We have
yet as
a culture to fully face the moral and spiritual implications of the
displacement of the native populations of North America, as we
invaded and took control.  Why now should we honestly face the real
agenda behind our goal to control the Middle East?"

I've barely been able to come to grips with the "spiritual & moral 
implications" of cro-magnons having edged out neathandertals and now you 
want me to just skip ahead to the displacement the North American savages? 
Hows about allowing a decent interval for healing, man.
