Colonialism brought good things to many places, but not the Six Counties in northeast Ireland. They were ready to pull out 100 years ago but were persuaded not to by some of their statesmen, who said the empire would "be embarrassed" by a move like that. Not getting embarrassed doesn't strike me as a noble reason to remain and create a garrison state.
