if we do not make America see what she has done, then she will do it again.
Trying to get Americans to take note of what they are doing to their fellow citizens is well nigh impossible..
Trying to get them to take note of what they have done to nameless, faceless brown people on the other side of the world is asking the totally impossible.
What you are asking for is self reflection on a national scale. Short of being on the losing end of something like WWII, which is what it took to make the Germans reflect on their sins, it isn't going to happen.
Note that the Japanese by and large escaped the self reflection that the Germans underwent.
