I'm not sure I agree that it's a shame. It's just reality. We can't always judge a situation while it's happening because we don't know all the ins and outs. There's something to be said for letting things simmer down before making judgments. I've seen that argument applied to what's going on at Westminster right now with regard to sexual harassment. Certainly, due process for the accused should not be abandoned in the heat of the moment.
I've also seen arguments being made now that colonialism wasn't all bad.
