      The war tomahawk was actually a British invention.

          The war Tomahawk was an instrument of imperialism. British gave them to allied tribes, offering bounties on scalps (another Brit innovation)

          A load of liberal revisionist bison dung, as is myth that Native Americans were peaceful people until Colonialism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow_Creek_massacre …

          Oh, I'm not arguing the Crow/Cree total war thing. N. America was always a violent place. But the British and other colonials paid bounties.

          The Europeans didn't bring war to the Americas. They just made it more efficient and used it for profit.

          If the Algonquians or the Iroquois had the ability to forge steel and make gunpowder before the colonists arrived...

          Also, to be clear, I'm fine with the TLAM strikes. Just wish they were on air defenses and were followed up with JDAMs.

          I do not support regime change in Syria. Trump's response was both measured & calculated: it was for political show; not to hurt Assad.

          That's cool. I'm more of the opinion at this point that Assad is more of a liability to everyone than a bulwark to build a solution on.

          Tomahawk isn't an Indian word. Oops did I say Indian? I'm beginning to sound like an Indian .

          No, tamahaac is a Powhotan word. Tomahawk is the English bastardization of the word. I'll refrain from saying what you sound like.

        Exactly that's what she meant the British need safe spaces. Simply insert one race/nationality for another. Common mistake
