Value of human life is determined by the nation and not by the invaders. Yes countless wars were fought but nations with justice and equality have always and ultimately prevailed.
You earlier said that had we had the resources and skills we would have come out to be the worst. The question is did we ever came out worse? Yes it happened in East Pakistan before that it happened inside Haram Shariff. I think it did not happen in Espania (940 years rule), it did not happen in Turkey. The question is why it always happens when the control is un-democratic?
A nation can survive by crucifying others but the gesture of inequality within; marks the beginning of the end of the nation. Its at this point that the value of human life is down to a couple of tappins only (as you referred). You can relate this argument to all the wars you have mentioned in your post.
I am sure you would remember the Churchill,s famous words during the second world war. When he was asked whether or not GB will win the war, he replied by asking if the courts of law (not the court of Justice) were working and whether the courts were deciding impartially in accordance to the law. The reply was Yes to both questions, he said rest assured we will win. You are a person of wisdom, I leave you to judge for yourself whether it has any link to the value of human life in any nation.
