Rational: You write: "According to an American professor History at Harvard, the West became rich by learning to kill others. He further elaborates how they learned the power of dynamite from China and perfected the art of killing." War and conquest by war is a world-wide phenomenon that spans all of human history. As a professional academic I don't believe any professor at Harvard would make the sweeping generalization that you attribute to him/her (dynamite was invented by Mr. Nobel, as in the Nobel Prizes, BTW; black "gun powder" was invented in China). If you will give me a reference (name of professor or name of book will do) I shall go straight to the library and read said book and report back on it here. Papillon
