"Man isn't a noble savage, he's an ignoble savage. He is irrational,
brutal, weak, silly, unable to be objective about anything where his
wn interests are involved - that about sums it up. I'm interested in
the brutal and violent nature of man because it's a true picture of
him. And any attempt to create social institutions on a false view of
the nature of man is probably doomed to failure." - Stanley Kubrick

This is such a great quote.

Let us remember that:
"**ANY** attempt to create social institutions on a false view of the
nature of man is probably doomed to failure."

And that includes other nations...

And that we should be:
"interested in the brutal and violent nature of man because it's a
true picture of him."
