I actually fully agree with that sadly. The way European powers abandoned so quickly their colonial posessions is a disgusting blemish on western culture and history. The only thing that makes it worse is the innaction to help fix what they cuased. Seriously one of the statements from celebrities, namely european, that pisses me off the most is saying the USA should pay more to assist the african nations.

Quite honestly with exceptions to the destruction of civil liberties and the use of african colonials as forced medical guinea pigs. Colonailism was better then what they are going through now. There are very few places were colonies have done well after they've been abandoned by there former masters. India/Australia has to be one of the shinning examples, but then they werent really hastily abandoned. It was gradual, and the powers that be ensured they could handle it.
