I didn't say we shouldn't help people in Africa because there's plenty we're responsible for in the here and now. In fact we're probably doing much the same damage without actually 'owning' these countries. So really there's plenty in the here and now to be sorry about rather than worry about something in the past that actually, has nothing to do with me. I just think the tirade against imperialism was pointless.
