Mayflower -- Question 12

Neither side of the war, the Indians or the English, could make a claim of moral superiority. Both sides were viciously killing innocent people for almost no reason at all. It's kind of like the death penalty, people feeling justified to kill somebody for killing somebody. It's totally wrong, hypocritical, and backwards. Both sides were at fault, doing the same things for the same reasons. If one side were to claim moral superiority over the other it would only be because of a bias oppinionator (yeah that's probably not a word). The whole concept war, to me, is kind of foggy and misunderstood. And, in any war, unless for extreme circumstances like ww2, neither side is ever in a justifiable position to claim moral superiority over the other.
