Brutality has worked in some cases, in medevil times, exterminating the population, meant that when you had no one able to hold a sword, then, you would have no problem holding that territory.

But, times change, and still you can see the rift between the West, and their way of thinking, and governing, and the Third World nations, and their way of thinking, and governing.

They, live in violence, they are desensitized. I dont think that some politians, the ones calling all the shots understand how they think, and fight, and how normal procedures for nation building (if there are any) can't be applied easly in third world countries.
