It's funny, it's pretty similar to what the US government did when they sent in settlers out to the west. Once over enough settlers staking out clams of land, it ended up crowding out the native Americans which led to conflict, and then you ended up with Custer killing bison on the Great plains.
I think the significant part there though is that it's what the US government did almost 200 years ago. Not that that excuses it, but it was a much more primitive and ignorant world then, and at least some of it can be ascribed to that primitiveness and ignorance.
Doing the same thing in the modern world though - that's just pure, unmitigated evil.
@Rottcodd I agree with this. We know now how bad that stuff back then was and we know the generations of misery it creates.
Doing it now would be like going back to legalising spousal rape and handling plutonium without protection.
