Well, the logic does apply... your statement that we killed all the Indians is inaccurate. We killed enough of them that they were greatly overpowered (like Palestine seems to be), but many remained. We just whittled away their land and crammed them into crappy reservations.

Ask any full-blooded native american today who deserves America's land, and see how he/she feels about it. They will no doubt say that they should get their land back. Is their argument valid?

By the way, I really am curious about your opinion, it's not a rhetorical question.
