By "America" I assume you refer to the north American land mass. In this regard you are quite correct. North America has been the home of many tribes of people. The United States of America is quite another story. Here, the peoples of the world discovered a place where their highest hopes and aspirations of freedom of the individual and the supremacy of the individual over the forced collective which plagued mankind since before the tyranny of Muhammed and his "Submit or die" philosophy.

The Muhammedian notion is similar in barbarity as the native American peoples, but cannot claim the title of "Noble savage" which some ascribe to the native American tribes. In Muhammed we see nothing noble, only savage. We, the peope of the United States of AMERICA, have through the belief in the primacy of the individual over the tyranny of the forced collective, whether Stalin, Hitler,Lenin, or Muhammed, created the greatest civilization, with the rights and freedoms of the individual person guaranteed by a Constitution which many of us have sworn to preserve protect and defend, and as our Presiden Ronald Reagan said the "Last best hope of man on earth."
