If they want to save it, they will. Otherwise, North Africa and Southern Europe will have no borders. Blowback from Colonialism is a bitch that way; sure, go ahead and extract resources from a lesser culture, but know that the oppressed will want revenge. Belgians must lose alot of sleep over the thought of hordes of vengeful people from Congo.

"Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared."-Machiavelli

The wests mistake was to stop half assed and start to feel pity.

Fine by me to be flexible in the use of Might so that brute strength is not exhausted in bloodlust but channeled into society by Virtue. Proper use of Might makes Right, but sometimes a society has to make a binary cboice which leaves a rival group decimated; if resources are low in quantity or quality, then the best tribe wins.
