There are two kinds of people in the world. One kind believes your

choking view of it that your hate-filled vision prescribes;
that instead you see children as weapon delivery systems.

Mark left out an important point:
The warhead-tipped rockets that are being launched into Israel
are coming from residential areas
in hopes that this will limit retaliation
Or in hopes to create yet more martyrs? I suspect the creation of
civilian casualties is deliberate on the part of Hamas.
In a society that believes in polygamy, martyrdom and the rights of
loonie imams to make up law, life is cheap.
And a society that insists everyone pray 5 times a day, and has their
best and brightest study the Koran and not Feynman, might be expected
to fall behind the rest of the world, and resent it.

Then again, there's something about old traditional societies that
keeps them going through the worst of times.
No, they _cause_ the worst of times. Such societies are arranged for
the benefit of whoever's in charge only.
Individual rights and
freedoms are fine for individuals but ultimately it's the good of the
society that counts and it's still unclear whether the former reliably
leads to the latter.
Not if the society in question treats non-rulers as disposable
assets, which all traditional societies do.
Traditional societies seem to be one form of
stable equilibrium.
Complete "Noble Savage" nonsense.
Are there other solutions? In view of industrial
democracy's tendency to quickly exhaust available natural resources it
That is a flat lie.
may eventually prove to be a short-term aberration in a pattern of
long-term survival depending on "backwardness", low productivity and
oligarchy. Enjoy the party while it lasts, but prepare for one nasty
hangover.
Oh, I see, you _want_ to be a slave.
