Thus, organizations bent on violence have little interest in us and our lives.
I don't mean to denegrate others and their way of life, but the more glorious and aggressive one makes themself, the more of a target they create of themselves to jealous, intolerant and hateful eyes.

Sooooo you are saying...everyone should just live like we did oh say several hundered years ago? I think what works for a small isolated (and new zealand is both) population would not work for larger countries, not ot mention you ignore the fact that if every nation just stayed behind its boarders a lot of people would die. The humanitarin food and goods that are shippped out of the USA alone is staggering, but think how terrible it would be to looosehundreds of millions of lives around the world because everyone just stayed home and minded their own business......Im sory guy, Humility as you describe it would be disasterous if it were adopted world wide.
