The former European Colonial powers did us no good did they? The British seem to figure in the process more than a bit don't they?
As mentioned....splitting up the Ottoman Empire....creating a Jewish homeland in Palestine...any number of problems in Africa and the Middle East.
The partition of India and Pakistan....all because of meddling in local affairs by Europeans.
Even in North America....we had the French, English, and Spanish drawing lines in dirt with no connection to the inhabitants.
There was even that bit of rare wisdom that created Northern Ireland...and we see how that lingers on in the modern world!
So...I love it when a European lectures us about our conduct....without admitting to the true History of the World.
Granted....we should learn some lessons from their storied successes and try not to imitate them in our modern efforts.
