Did anyone else see the parallel of what white people, who came to the new world, did to the Indians and the storyline of the Movie avatar?

Actually Seth you are right the way the marines ( white people ) treat the Na'vi ( blue people ) in a very similar way that the British treated the Indian. the marines came to Pandora to get unobtanium and the British came to the New World for silver as well as other things. The only difference I guess is that one the marines used weapons of mass destruction to make the Na'vi leave while the British tried to exterminate the Native Americans by giving them diseases and really just making them leave. But they do have many things in common with each other, but maybe thats how James Cameron came up with the story, I mean many movies are based on historical events.
