And speaking of "hitting a history book"........

" Mexico only had the US territories for about 20 years total time, which they stole from
the 
Spanish, which stole it from the natives. There were also only about 20,000 people living
in the 
area which the US took from Mexico. Many of the people elected to stay in the US and not
all 
considered themselves Mexican citizens. I am not saying we were justified in taking the
land, but 
we were not any more wrong than anyone else."


 What US territories did the Government of Mexico have ?

 What area are you talking about that the "US took from Mexico"? Are you making a
reference to 
the Republic of Texas, which was an internationally  recognized independent republic ?

And finally, what a great basis for the  way we should look at our history and what we
should 
strive for:  "we were not any more wrong than anyone else". It's that very thinking that
has other 
nations looking to bring former US officials to
court!
