That's how you dishonest lepers try to defeat someone. By putting words in their mouth.R(falsely. words they didn't say) Here's some substantiation of my point (found in 5 minutes): "That's the way conquerors work. They've always worked that way. They worked that way in India. It's not that India was a peaceful place before -- it wasn't. Nor was the western hemisphere a pacifist utopia. But there's no doubt that almost everywhere the Europeans went they raised the level of violence to a significant degree. Serious military historians don't have any doubts about that -- it was already evident by the eighteenth century. Again, you can read it in Adam Smith. One reason for that is that Europe had been fighting vicious, murderous wars internally. So it had developed an unsurpassed culture of violence. That culture was even more important than the technology, which was not all that much greater than other cultures. " zmag.org
