Lt. Fred said;
The racism of a colonial power isn't the problem, it's a symptom. The problem is one country running another without permission and usually without meaningful participation. That is inherently a problem. The other problem is that no country ever uses force except in its own interests. Only very occasionally do those interests align with what should be done, in Bangladesh, for instance, and Cambodia.
So if you go invade someone else's country even with stated humanitarian motives, nine times out of ten your real motives will lead to the opposite effect.
I must clear something up. I by no means meant "Military Invasion". I do not support the invasions in Iraq or elsewhere. I meant humanitarian relief, education, charity. Peaceful solutions that get to the root of the problem. I'm sick of war! Just go there to address their social & humanitarian issues....belief systems and attitudes that hinder progress. Give a bit of aid but help them to build themselves up....But without disregarding their culture.
