You say nice doggie, the dog bites you, you beat the crap out of it, stick it right back in it's previous situation, and go back to the previous abuse.

No, I'm not claiming the U.S. is any better about these kinds of things - I think I've been pretty straightforward about calling the U.S. for abuse of various groups as well. You might consider this a biased view, but that's the way it has been presented around the world, especially the settlements which seem like nothing more than bald-faced antagonism.
