I do not see why anyone should be judge or prejudged because of what a relative did, they are not thier relative. Henry Ford had dealings with the Nazis and look at that thriving business. Many of our ansetors may have been slave owners and some may have become very wealthy through the labors of slaves, many families are still feeling the wealth that would not have been possible without slave labor, but we cannot blame them for the sins of thier relatives. The sins of the father are not necassarily the sins of the son. Let the younger Bush make his own mistakes, going back thtat far in his family history and connecting it to him is just silly. His mistakes are his, and his families mistakes, wheather he benifited or not, were thiers. War has always been profit building, almost every one is preceded by some economic problem. WWI, WWII, our civil war, other older wars our country has been involved with, all can be realated or have affected the economy. I am not against the concept of reparations to those harmed in the building of a fortune, but I do believe that individual reparations are impractical and nearly immposible. We cannot blame someone for being born into wealth, that is not thier fault, what they do with thier lives, is.
