Secession of States II: the Sequel

This is a map of the proposed Lakota Nation. An area that takes up parts of 5 states (most of Nebraska and South Dakota, as you can see), has announced it's secession from the Union, based on a loose interpretation of Article 6 of the US Constitution. This area is formerly the territory of the Lakota Indian Tribe. This happened earlier this month, but has yet to go into effect.

Now, the last time I read a history book, I seem to remember certain states seceding, back in the 1800's. Needless to say, things didn't work out too well, for the Confederate States. I think the withdrawal from all treaties, by the Lakota Tribe, is going to spell trouble for both the US, and the Lakota, in the next few years.
What I want to know, is why pick now, when we're smack in the middle of two wars, in Iraq, and Afghanistan? Just when the tide is starting to turn, in Iraq, and victory is within sight, we get nailed with a situation that may turn into another civil war.
The issue I see, is that every surviving Native American tribe is going to follow suit. This country is going to be plunged into utter chaos, and there will be another American civil war. I can certainly envision a domino-effect.
If the Indian Tribes want a better deal, they should work at ratifying the treaties, instead of rebelling against the Federal Government, and taking large chunks of states out of our union. The last time I checked, Native and "modern" Americans were supposed to be sharing this country. If either side isn't playing by the rules, then meetings should be held, to rectify the problems.

All the Lakota are doing, here, is causing a shit-storm. I've been in a shit-storm, before, and I don't like the way they smell. furthermore... this is making us look real bad, to our enemies, on the outside. And, if any Lakota thinks that the Islamo-fascists don't have a beef with the Native Americans, they need to do a little research into the thinking of the Muslim Terrorist. We're all in this America vs. Islamo-fascism thing, together, whether anyone likes it, or not. (that goes for you, too, Code Pink, and Neo-Nazis... they hate you, just as much as they hate me and my fellow soldiers).
Instead of arguing, bickering with us, breaking away from the union, and raising money to give to terrorists... you fools might want to think about who you're going to run to, the next time some zealot lights off a bomb, on US soil.
I'll give you a hint... he wears ACU's and a beret, he lives off your tax dollars, and he likes guns, alcohol, video games, freedom, and sex.
