            Ethics and morals are a barometer of a civilizaion's mental maturity.
When the practice of such morals and ethics is not controlled in that civilization, it may reslut is the destruction of that civilization...
            Barbarians are not to be showered with the benefits of morals and ethics, beocs they will never care to respect them or reciprocate themm. ...
           This was the prime reason for the fall of Indian civilization........
           The Indian King Prithviraj Chauhan captured Mohamad Ghori, and the ethics and morals of the Indian ruler is suchn that he rewarded Ghori with wealth and warned him never to return to India again and he will not be able to show such treatment if it is found that he(Mohamad Ghori) again attacks India. This was done against the advice of all his ministers....
           But then next year Ghori invaded India and Prithviraj Chauhan the Indian king wrote a letter to Ghori reminding him of pardoning his life and ordered him to return back if he had any dignity but this time Mohamad ghori with the usual trait of muslimm King unethical attaked the millitary camp before the break of Dawn(Rules of war In India is only from sun rise to sunset) and caught the soldiers unprepared most and thus won the war openeing India up to the destruction of its civilization from which India eevn at present couldnt able to recover ....

   I would Like to know of such civilizations in the World  which fell becoz of observing the principles, ethics and morals  of war against a barbarious enemy.
     May be in the future, it may come true with US, Europe..where the people are concerned with rights of the terrorist than the right of the innocents who who die in these attacks...

You could equally say this was not civilisation vs barbarism but idealism vs pragmatism.
