Hitler announced his intentions to take back the former German territories  
long before doing so, he announced his hatred for the Jewish race before 
trying 
 to exterminate them, and slavery was a 
legal enterprise, plenty of warning there too. Does that make it all right  
then? Does that make hitler and 
the British honorable for their actions in Europe and bringing slaves to  the 
Americas? Nope. I have nothing
to atone for to Bin Laden. Serial killers have sent warnings before their  
murders, but that does not make them right for following through in their  
actions. Whether you believe he was right in doing so or not, Bin Laden  
announced 
and carried out crimes including mass murder. When my children try to  use 
the 
excuse with me that so and so did something first, I never buy the  excuse. 
They are still responsible for their actions. Bin Laden is a criminal,  no 
matter what his excuses are.

So, they were upfront about their positions and  intentions.

That is more honorable than how our predecessors treated  native  
Americans and how our prior countrymen treated the black race  until  
quite recently.

We have much to atone  for.
