That is a question that every American should get right without a second thought. Really, really a sad commentary on what is not taught in schools. I am tired of being told it is bad to be an American and that I should be ashamed of my country's history. We were no different than any of the other world power throughout the centuries. During the times of America's so called sins we were living within the social parameters of those the times,
