</div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I like to think of it as being "just politics as usual, but with a slightly</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
different cast this time round". (One of the things that irritates me hugely</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
with the discussion of this sort of historical event, is how things get so</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
polarized so quickly - the people who were colonized had their own separate</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
sets of interests, and sometimes they coincided with those of the</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
colonizers.)</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Most of the people who get colonized are busy having (to them) monstrously big</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
wars and conflicts amongst themselves, and they tend to see the colonizers as</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Yet Another Asset to help beat down their local enemies, only to realize, far</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
too late, that they've become just another asset themselves.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
