Yes: <The only way to be truly safe, is to have nobody hate you (or your country) enough to want to kill you.> And that means not going around stomping on, or bullying people, or taking their property by force. Unfortunately the actual mechanism of all governments as currently constituted is to treat citizens as state chattels, mere serfs of the state so the problem is built in, with forcible confiscation of property and person the norm. Until people have Tradable Citizenships with a reconstituted federal UN there will be quite a mess. But it's not quite that simple - while people are getting into Malthusian overload, they are forced by the exigencies of nature to fight for survival. Christian pacifism is fine in theory but in practise the tough thugs will just march in and take what they want for themselves and their tribal supporters. Most people in democracies vote for exactly that and they'll use whatever force they need to apply to achieve it. Mqurice
