Thanks for your comments Dale,

I'll take your word for it. :).. Because logic tells me we had no strategic interest there, resources, location etc, well maybe a little location as it is at a crossroads. And we took the "wrong" side, (tongue in cheek, he says)

Moving on, the problem with our "liberations" is just that. Like has been mentioned they are not mostly true liberations. And if they were, the people themselves are not starting with a clean slate. Too many residuals..

Not like us, when we started here, 225 years ago. We set this up as democracy for white settlers only with nothing similar in mind for those pesky natives whom we would liberate from their lands if they got in the way. And they seemed to be continually in the way as the "young men" eagerly took the advice of old Horace..
