Imperialism was and is worong. Any unwarrented domination of one strong people ove a weaker people is wrong. Imposing unworkable and often stupid national boundaries on traditional systems is wrong. But, having said that, one has to ask, how long must a country thro' its govt have to apologise. And it seems like the British govt., is bending over backwards (and quite often forwards) to accomodate immigrants from former Imperial territories. The Empire is gone ... and I don't think anyone really misses it ... and maybe it's time to get rid of the guilt. And it is definately time that your govt. stopped acting as if it is still the guilty party.

Just a few thoughts from the former colonies, in the middle of what looks like a nice little blizzard.
