You may well be right MIO. I am not a historian but instead have only become familiar with certain events of history due to specific interests, and mainly from 20th century onward so I'm not really in a position to comment on for instance The French Revolution. The events I've read up on, e.g the West's activities in the Middle East over the past 100 years, certainly have not been driven by anything other than the quest for power, influence and riches.

Reality always wins in the end.
