So maybe you can point me to the equivalent of Auschwitz (or Treblinka, or Sobibor) on US soil.[/quote]

The Trail of Tears[/quote]

A cruel relocation exercise that paid little respect for peoples' well-being and lifes isn't the same as intentional mass-murder.

[quote] Measuring it by method (industrialized camps in the 20th centruy as opposed to less industrial methods in the 19th century), rather than intent and effect is focusing on the least important aspect of the crimes.  In Poland, 90%+ of the Jewish population was killed. In the US, 90%+ of the Native American population was killed. I don't see a difference regardless of the methods used. [/quote]

Except that one occurred over a span of three years and the other over three centuries. And that the majority of "killed" Native Americans died from disease and not murder.

[quote] Germans had the ability to use primitive, analog computers (Hollerith machines, which run punchcard databases); the US didn't have those.  [/quote]

So your hypothesis is that the US governent would have sent all native Americans it could gotten hold of to gass chambers had it had the technological capacity for this? Rather stiff.

[quote] This is an insane argument, anyway. We are arguing about whether the US's genocide against NA was morally better than German genocide against Jews. [/quote]

The insanity emerges from your claim of moral equivalence. A crime is a crime, but this does not mean all crimes are the same.[/quote]
