I don't see a connection. You're saying that the only people capable of constructing a functioning society are us Europeans? I really hope I'm reading you wrong.
No, it doesn't matter that they were European per se. Let's say they were people from planet X who showed up on planet Y, built a load of stuff and then left, and the people from planet Y have no idea how to operate any of it. You know, like in Stargate: SG1. The point is that the people who built it are often the only ones who can operate it.
Singapore would disprove that theory. :)

How?
Hehe, I guess we're in big trouble now that China is building all our stuff now then ;)
(Yes I know, most of it is still designed/developed in the west..)
