You are making a host of assumptions and generalizations. I suspect like me, you are a person who has empathy for fellow human beings. One thing you have to understand is that this isn't true for every person.

There are 10's of millions sociopaths in our world. These people have no "feelings" for there fellow man. If there were no consequences for there actions, a sociopath could point a gun to your head pull the trigger and then have lunch and not think twice. It is this lack of inhibition that generally leads these personality types into prosecutions of power in power vacuumed countries. Why? Sociopaths/megalomaniacs do not have empathy and will do anything to achieve there aims, intimidation, murder, etc, if they can get away with it, were as you and I would not do those things.

So Bhushan were do millions of sociopaths in this world place in your grandiose scheme of things?
