I got my degree in 1978. Not a single book on world history described the British Colonial Service the way you just have. None. I don't know what kids are being taught now, but if you're any indication, the far left permanent professors have rewritten history to conform to the new far left standard that American and British work to help the desperately needy was all about occupation and plundering. Like I told you earlier, far left nonsense.

Horrific tribal hatred only held together by brutal dictatorships and warlords.

Sounds good, but no longer tolerable in this age where failed states are used as development grounds for terror.

Agreed, but not germane to this discussion.

Don't disagree, but that's quite the change of subject.
