Yeah, Woj's comment ignores the way that "sovereignty" (another great Bush moment captured on video - W defining Indian sovereignty) was constructed by the US in a history featuring just about all the points in the official definition of genocide. I hope Wojtek isn't trying to blame Indians for these awful numbers.
