Your argument sounds so logical... until one actually work with
primitive people, the ones the trike man is talking about. And yes I
have worked with this sort of people. In one case we had to call in
the Indonesian military to stop a "war" between two villagers over who
would keep a worn out plastic tarpaulin. Hardly an example of
"cooperatively".

By the way, the military solution was to simplify get out of the
helicopter and immediately shoot one of the two fighters. Fight over.

  What faction were the "military" ? Nazis?
They murdered a citizen in cold blood and didn't solve the
problem.
  And unless that "primitive person" was a baboon, his IQ was
probably equal to, or even superior to the "military's"***. Not having
access to a decent education doesn't make you stupid, it makes you
ignorant.

Well, their mission was to prevent a war and further slaughter. Best solution? Maybe not, but we were not the officer in the field that day.
