In the War on Terror and the Big Push, or whatever we call it these days, you can take out the word "innocence". Both sides seem perfectly happy simply destroying. Destroying children. Woman. Hospitals. Housing. Roads. Water supplies. Their innocence, or otherwise, it seems is kind of neither there nor there. Show me something or someone that either makes life worth living or just that shade less horrifying and you can bet that both sides are really happy blowing them to tiny pieces.
Genuinly happy people are less easily controlled and manipulated; you've got to make 'em live on the edge, and then tell 'em it's someone else's fault. Anyway: better education is, as always, the key. Learn people to select real from bogus info so that they can learn to spot when they're being fucked without lube. Education, education, and education.

Indeed.

If people are housed, clothed, fed, educated (however basic by comparison) and they can see the genuine prospect of a better life for their children then they have no incentive to go anywhere in numbers.

Most people want to live in the land they were born in / on and they leave most reluctantly. Migration (like conquest) is driven by economics. Individuals generally do not migrate to spread their faith or ideas. They migrate in numbers in order to eat on a regular basis or to simply survive war and tribal conflict.

Face it no one ever seems to have a problem with people who come here to study at university or to invest and start businesses regardless of their racial background. Bigotry is as much about economics as immigration.
