The gods are told of a threat to mankind and asked for help. They reply:
"'What is that to us?'" (p. 342)
How would you or I respond to that?
Steve Matuchek, addressing Native American gods while, in my view, unnecessarily conscious of his own whiteness, makes the points that:
earlier inhabitants of North America wiped out species, stripped the land and killed each other;
white invaders brought horrors and the benefits of civilization.
Of course. And we can only move forward from where we are now.
I previously discussed Steve's response to the gods in "Who Are "We"?

Kaor, Paul!
I think I can say I am highly unlikely to seek help from beings I don't believe to be gods at all. (Smiles)
I'm far more likely, given problems like this, to seek assistance from the Highest, as we see being done in OPERATION LUNA.
Both "Delenda Est" and "The Only Game In Town" gives us alternate speculations of what might have happened if the Americas had been discovered, as was inevitable, by different advanced civilizations at different times.

Oops! It was OPERATION CHAOS I should have cited in the second paragraph of my first comment.
