Once I managed to decipher your English, I saw that what you are saying is perfectly true. The Anglo Saxons who took over the land and formed the US government, took over from the First Nations (also called "natives", "Indians", etc. for those who are not aware), on a basis of cruelty, genocide, lies and broken treaties. The same thing happened in Canada (that's the country just north of you folks, by the way).

Every country was borne of lies and deciet basically.

Every country has a history of bloodshed and violence

somewhere in their past.

The U.S. is just another country with it's own baggage.

I will answer in the words of Robert Kennedy and you decide.
"On this generation of Americans falls the burden of proving to the world that we really mean it when we say all men are created free and are equal before the law. All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don't. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with opportunity." Speech, Law Day Exercises of the University of Georgia Law School, May 6, 1961.

"I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil." Speech, Athens, Georgia, May 6, 1961."All great questions must be raised by great voices, and the greatest voice is the voice of the people - speaking out - in prose, or painting or poetry or music; speaking out - in homes and halls, streets and farms, courts and cafes - let that voice speak and the stillness you hear will be the gratitude of mankind." Address, New York City, January 22, 1963.

"Since the days of Greece and Rome when the word 'citizen' was a title of honor, we have often seen more emphasis put on the rights of citizenship than on its responsibilities. And today, as never before in the free world, responsibility is the greatest right of citizenship and service is the greatest of freedom's privileges." Speech, University of San Francisco Law School, San Francisco, California, September 29, 1962.

"We must recognize the full human equality of all our people - before God, before the law, and in the councils of government. We must do this not because it is economically advantageous - although it is; not because the laws of God and man command it - although they do command it; not because people in other lands wish it so. We must do it for the single and fundamental reason that it is the right thing to do." Day of Affirmation Address, University of Capetown, South African, June 6, 1966.

"Nations, like men, often march to the beat of different drummers, and the precise solutions of the United States can neither be dictated nor transplanted to others. What is important is that all nations must march toward a increasing freedom; toward justice for all; toward a society strong and flexible enough to meet the demands of all of its own people, and a world of immense and dizzying change." Day of Affirmation Address, University of Capetown, South African, June 6, 1966.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Said by George Santayana in the book Life of Reason (page 284): Supposedly said/paraphrased by either Robert F. Kennedy or John F. Kennedy, but these exact words have not been found. Both men did make similar statements about learning from the past, however.

Undetermined quotation: "If not us, who. If not now, when?" This quotation has been attributed to Robert F. Kennedy, but we have not found any written confirmation of this fact, although many individuals have stated that they hear him say it at various times. There are several translations of the original quotation, a saying of the Rabbi Hillel from the Pirkay Avot, a book of the Mishnah, the first part of the Talmud. Here is one translation: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now -- when?"

"Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and in the total of all these acts will be written the history of this generation...It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is thus shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." Day of Affirmation Address, University of Capetown, South Africa, June 6, 1966.

And in his quotation from Shakespeare, he described how I feel about him and every American who embraces these ideals:
"When he shall die take him and cut him out into stars and he shall make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun." Quoting Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet at the Democratic National Convention, 8/27/64.

Written in the Book of Daniel: And their wise leaders will shine like the stars in the sky.

The United States was founded on the words written in the U.S. Constitution: All men are Created Equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In every generation, it is our requirement to be truthful, courageous, honest in our dealings, honorable and trustworthy. We must not fail.
