Ulysses Grant, who fought in the Mexican War said (and I’m paraphrasing here, but I think I have the gist of it) that the Mexican War was the most unjust war ever fought by a strong nation against her weaker neighbor. It was a pure was of conquest. I guess there are plenty of Americans who have become so cynical now that they can justify this. But I think there are still a few of us who know right from wrong.
Yes, a lot of good people worked hard to build up what has become the great American West, but we should remember that originally, it was stolen.

What a shallow statement. That ad from Absolut spat in the face of honest American immigrants and those who worked to build the western half of the US into part of a great nation.

In an ‘Absolut world’, companies wouldn’t dare run such an ad because they would know in advance that a good portion of their clientèle would evaporate overnight.
