I think whether it’s religious or secular, raw power is completely efficient and totally ruthless in seeking it’s own ends. Dress it up however you want, but the bottom line remains the same: “God is on the side of the big battalions”.[/quote]

Hey, that’s capitalism at its finest. It only works when you have someone to exploit (or eliminate). Whatever will we do when we have blasted through all the labor in the third world countries to produce tchotchkes, but we can’t sell tchotchkes to the 1st world population because the market is totally saturated?
