This was a statement by Pres. Candidate Mitt Romney. He essentially said:" OUT OF ALL THE NATIONS IN THE WORLD, THERE HAS BEEN ONLY ONE NATION THAT HAS NEVER TAKEN LAND FROM ANOTHER NATION AFTER A WAR. THAT NATION IS AMERICA. WE DID NOT TAKE LAND FROM THE GERMANS, THE JAPENESE, WE ARE THE ONLY NATION TO LOSE MANY LIVES AND NEVER TAKE LAND. THIS MAKES AMERICA UNIQUE IN THE WORLD" - mitt romney
So basically you get the gist of what he was saying. This statement naturally caused me to think - as I have the questioning nature of an ameture history buff. Of course you first think about the American Indians, but thats maybe different for the obvious reasons. However, I then think about the state of Texas,and or California. Were these lands taken from Mexico after a war? And overall I want to know what objective insights you all can give me. Whether you agree, or disagree with Mitts statement etc.? Why? or Why not?
