Sajjad
Let me act as the devil's advocate here.
Just because of the policies of the last few governments of a single nation in the western hemisphere, you are condemning the whole of North and South America, which i believe has been the most innovative and progressive continent in the last two hundred or so years.
The funny thing is that if you were offered a green card right now, you be off running of to that same "Columbus' mistake" of a nation without having any second thoughts!
Lets not be hypocrites and accept that Columbus' mistake has been one of the better things which has occured in human history.
I wonder what had happend if Columbus had not discovered america. We'd still be traveling by horse carriages, no aeroplanes, no going to the moon, no computers, internet, submarines, radio, tv, stock exchanges or anything. I guess we'd still would be living in medieval times!
Dont see only the darker aspect of things Sajjad. Everything has a positive aspect alongwith its negatives.
