the movie is pretty damn accurate.  you can also watch a movie called "sometimes in april" also about the genocide.  check out romero dalierres (sp?) book called "shaking hands with the devil".  also check out a book that is titled something like "today we regret to inform you that we will be killed with our families:  stories from rwanda"  written by a journalist.  you can also check out "century of genocide".  for further research check out how similar the rwandan genocide was to the genocide in burundi twenty years before.  VERY VERY similar.  some trial information can be found on the UN website.  good luck.

Nothing New About It\n\nhttp://www.limitstogrowth.org/WEB-text/aztlan.html\n\nIn 1997, then-President Zedillo proclaimed that \n“I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation \nextends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the ''conquista,'' \nSpain tried to impose on Mexico \na common western language, religion, and culture, \nand to the degree it was successful.  \nIt was also anti-American.  \nWe should remember \nthat the Spaniards were building the great cathedral \nat the Zocolo in Mexico City \na hundred years before George Washington \ntook control of the Continental Army \nat Cambridge, Massachusetts.  \nHere are two different world views, sharing the same continent.\n\nIn his article, Clash of Civilizations?, \nSamuel P. Huntington reminds us \nthat cultural differences may cause future wars, \nand that these wars will be along cultural ''fault lines.''  \n\nThe U. S.--Mexican border is one of those fault lines.  \n\nHuntington writes, \n''Civilization identity will be increasingly important in the future,\nand the world will be shaped in large measure \nby the interactions among seven or eight major civilizations \n\nThe most important conflicts of the future \nwill occur along the cultural fault lines \nseparating these civilizations from one another.'' \n\nIn regard to Mexico, Huntington writes, \n''During the past decade, \nMexico has assumed a position \nsomewhat similar to that of Turkey. \nJust as Turkey abandoned its historic opposition to Europe \nand attempted to join Europe, \nMexico has stopped defining itself \nby its opposition to the United States \nand is instead attempting to imitate the United States.''  \nHowever, \nunlike Canada, \nMexico has a large, nonwestern, indigenous population \nthat has not yet been integrated into modernity.  \nThis native population also carries \nan unconscious weight of resentment \ntowards the Spanish conquest, \nwhich it now mistakenly displaces onto the U. S. \n\nMexico's indigenous population \nis one of the contemporary strains in that society.  \nSub-Comandante Marcos \nand the uprising in Chiapas of indigenous people \nis a prediction of what is to come in Mexico \nif that strain cannot be relieved.\n  \nThe Mexican elites have decided, therefore, \nto reduce this strain by sending north \nas many poor and jobless Mexicans as they can.  \nInstead of solving their own problems, \nwhich might entail a reduction of their status, \nthe ruling Mexican elites have decided to keep the fiesta going\nand let the U. S. handle the cleanup. \n\nA top adviser \nto past Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari \ndescribed to Huntington all the changes \nthe Salinas government was making.  \nWhen the advisor finished, Huntington remarked: \n''That's most impressive.  \nIt seems to me that basically you want to change Mexico \nfrom a Latin American country into a North American country.''\nHe looked at me with surprise and exclaimed: \n''Exactly!  \nThat's precisely what we are trying to do, \nbut of course we could never say so publicly.'' \n \nWhat also could not be said publicly \nis that Mexico wants to reclaim its ''lost'' territory.  \nIt will use economics and illegal immigrants to do this.\n\nMany Mexican elites believe that to become a modern nation,\nMexico has to restructure its economy \nand regain the territory it lost during the first Mexican war.  \nFor over a century, \nMexican nationalists have used the myths and symbols \nof a lost but glorious indigenous past \nto motivate its plans for expansion. \n \nD. H. Lawrence wrote about this myth building in his novel, \nThe Plumed Serpent. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf the ''reconquista'' continues unchecked \nfor the next twenty years, \nthe U. S. will be a fundamentally different society than it is today.\n\nThere will be more poverty and low-wage jo

40 Marine NCO's were involved in the battle for Chatulpetec Castle along with greater numbers of US Army against 750 Mexican  soldiers and 250 military cadets as young as 13, A myth evolved as to a Red Stripe Marine NCO's have on their "Dress Blue" trousers; supposedly commemorating the Marine NCO's bloody fight there. \n\nDuring the battle, six Mexican military cadets refused to fall back when General Bravo finally ordered retreat, and fought to the death against superior U.S. forces. One by one they fell, fighting for their country; when one was left (Juan Escutia), and the US forces about to kill him, he grabbed the Mexican flag, wrapped it around himself and jumped off the castle point.\n\nAn aide to Mexican Commanding General Santa Anna's  witnessing the mass Mexican Army's retreat exclaimed, "God is a Yankee"!\n\nAfterwards the Marines were ordered to guard the Halls of Montezuma ~ Thus "The Marine Hymn"

I think Tenochtitlan was the capital, right?\n\nI'm so bad at history that my information might not even be correct and I may have confused it with the other groups, but the Aztecs were interesting. Wasn't Tecnochitialtieh built of stone or something, because that's basically what you have to work with back then?\n\nAnd I think the Spanards conquered it when some guy went there and burned their books because it was against his religious teaching and he wanted to make them Christian or something.\n\nyou know what, I suck.

According to this website (in Spanish), the Africans in Mexico did not make colonies. It seems that they were mixed up with the Spaniards or pre-colombian inhabitants

I think its been long forgotten....I have read it as well, and know about the violations.....Perhaps that is why there is some hidden animosity from the Mexican govt. towards the US govt....They don't want to drudge up the past, because the last thing they want is a war with US....We are neighbors....

I lived & worked with Guatemalans on the racetrack who paid a lot of money to get out of Guatemala ($1800+).  When they got into Mexico, the "coyotes" took another $1200+ with a promise to get them across to America.  It usually didn't happen & they were lead into an ambush that sent them back to square one.  The Mexicans hated the Guatemalans who made it because they knew the Guatemalan people were a force that could not be stopped due to their strong Spiritual connections & the will to survive by doing a job for a fraction of the price, yet with so much more skill than the common "Coyote". I have seen an entire crew leave a barn when the trainer hires just ONE Guatemalan.  It is special!  I think the Mexicans fear payback for mistreating the Guatemalan People.

"Remember the Maine! To hell with Spain!" cried the media directly implicating Spain after the USS Maine suffered an explosion in Havana harbor killing hundreds of sailors.  Spanish occupation of Cuba was blamed for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Cubans.  Media fueled the public sentiment against Spain and the US decided to 'liberate' Cuba from the Spanish and create a free and independent Cuba.  With the US economy languishing, many thought that a war would help the economy.  Thousands were killed during the war.\n\nWith the benefit of modern forensic science, the explosion is now widely believed to have been an accident caused by the spontaneous combustion of gunpowder magazines situated too close to heat sources.\n\nKind of sounds familiar doesn't it?
