I also don't think that we could ever manage the degree of viciousness that the British often practiced (seeing their native enemies as something less then human)

I'm sorry to say though that in our times, the terrorists seem to have adopted that very same attitude....They treat everyone and anyone, including their own people, at worst, less than human and at best, as pawns....and tools whom they can use to implement their personal view of the world.....nothing else is satisfactory for them... And that just cannot be allowed to stand!!!!
