Yes, this is the WAY of mankind, isn't it? To sit back and mourn "what is" and "what was" is an exericse in futility. The history of mankind is a history of one group fighting and killing another group. We seem to be hardwired for it. And I don't think we are fighting and killing others just for the fun of it, but for some sort of economic gain. One could say the greed for another's riches has driven us. It still drives us today, and you can see it in economic systems, in so called "civilized" Nations.
