I can see where you're coming from, my statement was less than clear. I read the Zimbabwe story, and I could imagine reading similar stories about Iraq 15/20 years into the future. I was drawing a parallel rather than generalising about all colonies & and all post-colonial situation. But this wasn't evident.
Shock-therapy decolonisation will cause trouble, such as in Zimbabwe. The usual structure of society is left open to power-hungry types like Mugabe.

Did you forget generalizations bother you or don't you mind complaining opportunistically, only when it's convenient?

I wasn't thinking about generalisations. She ran right out in front of me, Officer, I swear.

Er, yes. It was handled stupidly.

I understood you put all the blame on colonial time.

Not my intent, see my response to TteFAboB.

Over third of the population has the HIV/AIDS, whos fault is that?

Probably a function of low sex education, religious factors, many other reasons.
