The empire builders will hear you!
Seriously, is it strange that most of the world's major political problems of the last several centuries relate to colonial desire? See, I think religion is secondary to greed; it's just the excuse folks use to solidify their hold on what they want. "I swear this hill is ours, it's sacred to our GOD!" "Oh yeah, well, it's sacred to our God, too, and our God is better than yours nah nah nah boo boo!"
Everything boils down to a schoolyard bitchfight over territory. Instead of establishing national borders, we should just have armies of men peeing like dogs to mark off our area of choice.
Because pee is less destructive than bombs, and easier to clean up.

: Because it was considered better to be ruled by a small group of corrupt local rich folks instead of one faraway massive corrupt rich guy named George? And even though the local leadership allowed terrible things like slavery, massive religious punishments and no rights for women, it was better than being ruled from an ocean away.
