Since nobody in the thread seems to get it: it's not even in TFA, it's in TFS: the Brazilian Govt wants a secure system for the Brazilian Govt official (ie internal) communications. They probably will, at some point, offer this new system to their citizens (for obvious reasons), but that's not the intended goal, for now.

For the vast majority of human history (200.000 years or so) there is no trace whatsoever of signs of war. On the countrary human comunities are thought to live in peaceful sustenaince.
With the introduction of patriarchy and private property, some 7-10.000 years ago (last 5% of human history), are the first traces of war found.

All this information is freely available on Wikipedia, but you might want to take a book for more insight.

How do you think we GOT to a situation in which (for most of us in the first world anyway) most of us can assume correctly that our entire lives will be spent peacefully in blissful ignorance of the consequences of war across our homes, our families, and our lives? How do you think we got to this point? The planet has never lacked strongmen who would cheerfully take what they want and impose their will on others.

You are failing to acknowledge that the majority of the world IS, in fact, pray of strongmen who cherfully take what they want and impose their will on others. Just because you are on "their side" (the "first world") doesn't make them any more right.
