'Excuse me, but if the US were invaded today, the government would surely wipe them (the invaders) all out.'
While I agree with much [not all] of what you write, I do not think that the government would bash in little babies brains or tomahawk defenseless women and children, nor burn them at the stake.
While defending one's land is understandable the above instances happened quite often. Killing defenseless women and children is no more acceptable today than it was three or four hundred years ago, by anyone.
Just my two cents.

Let's not forget the all the hangings of people of color in our Nation in the last 40 years.
It took decades before the families of three victims of a Baptist preacher got justice for the murders of their loved ones. He didn't do these crimes alone either.
The government can't stop these hate crimes until it's too late for the victims.
Why did it take our government so long for this man to be put away? What about the others who took part in these elaborate murders, why are they not being punished? Cause it happened a "long time ago." From what I gather much has not changed in Mississippi.
"Sixty years A judge has sentenced former Klansman Edgar Ray Killen, 80, to three consecutive 20-year sentences for the 1964 killings of three civil rights workers in rural Mississippi."
