[snip]Nezahualcoyotl was one of the great poets of the world. Today we only have these few paper shards as a result of the barbarians who couldn't read and destroyed the great libraries of Texcoco and Tenochtitlan.
Yes, they do indeed seem barbaric (and barberic, too: "Keep America beautiful, get a haircut", and Muslim men, so the news says, treat themselves to a nice haicut for Ramadan...). They didn't even understand that gold is worth a lot more as jewelry than as bullion. Pearls before swine (which is, of course, an insult to the porcine population).
As Elie Wiesel said:
Don't compare. All suffering is intolerable.
