In fact, history is on my side.........rarely does the good generated by an outsider outweigh the bad. Depends on the outsider and which history you examine. How about the "good" the USA imposed on Japan post WW2, on Korean Peninsula post-Korean war, on Europe (you know, occupied France!) post-WW2, on Philippines post-WW2, on Panama post-Noriega? Are you going to argue that the outsider's actions (The USA) were a net negative to Asia and Europe, that the world would be better off with Asia now being called Japan and Europe now being called Germany? You only site the examples of colonies, where the outsider tries to exploit the resources and population of the affected country. In the US's foreign policy, I don't think there has been anything that looks like a "colonization" since WW2, most of the foreign policy has been attempting to either reshape the country in a form that resembles US government, or just trying to maintain something resembling stability against various warring factions.
