Its important to understand what motivates that level of barbarity. Its not the nation or its people, its capitalist greed through Oligarchy. For all its image of freedoms, it has always been freedom of the powerfull to exploit the weak.

Its the age old story of empires. They are all built on exploitation. US empire, Soviet Empire, British Empire, Chinese Empire, Caliphates, Roman, Greek, Ottomans, Israeli. The moment a small group of greedy individuals gain sufficient power over the masses in a society, they employ it to exploit people.

If we want a better world, we need to stop giving small groups of people executive power. Party politics, organized religion, monarchy's, corporations, they all need to go.
