What if the UN decided that what early American settllers did to the Indians was unjust and cruel, and so decided to give them prime east coast land, asked all non-native americans to leave their property, and gave to the native americans all the east coast states from Virginia to Maine, by passing a resolution based on international consent. What if France, England, China, and Russia (etc.) got to make this decision for the US. You think some people would be mad?

It's kind of like the situation in Israel. ON CBS, Iran's president asks the question: why was the nation of Israel located in the middle east, why were so many jewish people moved out of europe to create this nation, why not have this new country be in europe? And it is something to think about. Present day Israel was created by the UN as a result of what Hitler did, and people trying to make amends for past injustices. But can amends ever be made?? When slave reparations are mentioned, that idea is mocked up and down. Is there a tenable solution for the troubles of this region? I'm just asking the question, and wondering if there will ever be a peaceful solution there in what seems a very awkward situation from the beginning.
