They just want to get their evil UN hands on the treasure buried beneath Mt. Rushmore. You can't fool me, I have National Treasure II.

1. The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is not a legally binding resolution.

2. Nothing in the 46 articles indicates in any way that a country would ever have to give anything back. There is an article for reparations, but that is only for land taken illegally. Since the US writes the laws, most of what we did to the Indians was legal.

3. Not to doubt the Daily Mail, but according to the UN website, the reports of Mr. S. James Anaya don't mention Mt Rushmore. BTW the Daily Mail could not even get his name right.

What Mr. Anaya is saying about the US is the same he is saying about other countries "you guys really need to improve the way you preserve indigenous cultures. "

In other words, nothing to see here folks.

Well that is pretty obvious.I just thought that the GPS comment was funny.I like how some members of native tribes make a big deal about a bit of ground being special to them for example a Seminole reservation here in Florida they made a huge deal about a bit of land and got it back becuase it had been a burial ground Know what stands on that ground now?A Hard Rock Casino how about the indigenous cultures respect their own? I know such things are not the reflection of all Native Americans but you cant tell me that a casino being on top of your old burial ground is not a desecration.

If people are going to go about handing back land to their original owners, maybe we should find some Celts to hand the majority of western Europe back to.

Anyone read Robert Ludlum's Road to Omaha?

Evidently there was, in his fictional world, a treaty that gave this Indian tribe perpetual ownership of some land in Nebraska. Omaha actually and the Headquarters of Strategic Air Command to be specific.

And the Indians demanded the land and all improvements to be given back to them.

The Visigoths called, they want the Balkans back.

The Romans called right after, they want all of Europe back south of Hadrians wall.

The Mesopotamians called, and they are demanding the Tigris and Euphrates valley.

How far back does whitey have to go for self hate?

How about this...Conquered people.... deal with it. The Japanese and Germans did, and came out stronger, they did not make excuses, they moved on.

Have they got the paperwork?
Does the courts in the Balkans say it belongs to the visigoths?

The japanese and the germans are rather insistant when it comes to the terms and conditions set out in the paperwork they have.

Its amazing, you get yourself upset over a non story from a rubbish media outlet and then long after it is obvious it is a bollox story you decide to dig yourself in deeper over the nonsense

Hey this is the internet what did you expect? The majority using any form of comon sense or logic? I find it quite amusing to observe people going bonkers over an article which is complete and utter bollox from rubish media outlets especially when they're so easily offended.

However, during the famous "weapons of mass destruction" farce, UN (so disparaged here) was a good alibi for US to intervene again in Iraq and to put the hand (with the British accomplice) on its oil ...
