We simply cannot force alien cultures to be like us. It takes a lot of time for primitive, backward cultures to develop and join the modern world, and bombs and demands for "democracy" don't seem to accomplish much in helping that along.

Exactly right, I mean bombing the hell out of Pat Robertson and
Jerry Falwell would only strengthen their primitive and backward
cultures.

Prolly not.

But worldwide telecommunications and advertising moguls can hardly be called primitive and backward.

Al Queda operatives use sophisticated cryptography and
satellites to communicate and the Iranians have joined
the nuclear nation club, so by your reckoning they could
hardly be called primitive and backward.
