When has America been on the 'right side of history'? It's been humanity's bully ever since WW2, and before that they murdered and displaced the locals. I see this as nothing more than an expression of the well known Anglo-Saxon (read: Germanic) MO/ideology. Idk what's up with them, honestly, but you can count on a majority of them to choose murder and pillage before morals, peace and self-restraint.
