how life doesn't seem to change. maybe it is because cheney and his crew are such historians. got this gem from guerrillas in the midst:
"Read to Native Americans by Conquistadores (in Spanish) in their first encounters.
“I implore you to recognize the church as a lady and in the name of the Pope take the King as lord of this land and obey his mandates. If you do not do it, I tell you that with the help of God I will enter powerfully against you all. I will make war everywhere and every way that I can. I will subject you to the yoke and obedience to the Church and to his majesty. I will take your women and children and make them slaves. The deaths and injuries that you will receive from here on will be your own fault and not that of his majesty nor of the gentlemen that accompany me.”
Too bad the Native Americans didn’t inherently understand Spanish."

I learned about this for the first time in the history course I took this past term for my social studies certification. Laughed my butt off, I must say.
