Mike,

Have you ever seen the movie "The Man Who Would Be King"? Sean Connery and Michael Caine play two British adventures who decide to take over a small country north of Afganistain. It's a GREAT movie and somewhat fitting for this discussion. Basically, what would happen if "modern" people end up among less civilized(for lack of a better term) people. In the movie Connery ends up pretending to be a god which works out well for quite a while, then becomes very, very bad.
