That's what happens in the end: <What's your plan? Put all billion Muslims in concentration camps and fire up the crematories?>

See what happened to Germany and Japan when they went marauding. In the end, they were stopped with bulk extermination with concentration camps for prisoners considered risks.

You don't know how fine we've done without the Aztecs and Incas. Yes, we are alive, but that's faint praise and not really "done just fine". A lot of people aren't alive and we are still living in barbaric times. There is a good case that we have not done just fine.

Rehashing history with hypotheticals is pointless.
