During my undergraduate years I took a Political Science honors course called History of 19th Century U.S. Foreign Policy.
The title of my thesis: "Continental Coup d'etat: 19th Century U.S.-Engineered Overthrows of Sovereign 'Native American' Governing Structures as Templates for U.S.-Engineered 20th Century Hemispheric Coups."
My professor rejected the basic premise.
I transferred to the English Department.
And the rest is suppressed history.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
