Cyber, While I applaud your efforts at reconciliation, the "monetary" model implied by your question of compensation is an inappropriate analogy for the problem. A closer analogy, I think, is that of a spouse who has been wounded by the infidelity of the other (and who still desires to stay together.) There is no one instance or action that the other can accomplish to regain the lost trust of the other. Any hope of reconciliation lies only in a patient and slow attempt to regain the other's confidence. The injured spouse may forgive, but hardly ever forgets the history of ill-treatment and abused confidence. So, to answer your question concerning appropriate compensation, I would answer that your "aggressors" should: (1) Try to understand why we feel the resentment we do. (2) Act consistently over time w/contrition to demonstrate that you no longer desire (openly or covertly) to injure us as you have (and as we see it, continue to do.) (3) Do your best to correct the whole history of wrongs and evil actions you have caused. (5) Remember, in the West at least, you have spent nearly 400 years committing acts of terror and genocide. It may take a similarly long time for many of those you have injured to sufficiently trust you again. 20, 30 or even 40 years of half-hearted lipservice to reconciliation is hardly enough time. This seems like fair compensation to me.
