How closely symbiotic are culture and religion?
As I mentioned before elsewhere, Westerners have been surprised over the years when seemingly benign and cultured aristocracy and politicians (often one in the same, no?) in so-called ""Third World Countries" will call for subjugation or punishment for an ethnic or political or religious faction as casually as they would call for another glass of champagne or juice.
Maybe if world leaders all had the retirement benefits and prospects of the U.S., Canadian and Western European leaders they wouldn't have to fortify themselves for their declining years
