> Why is it that some former colonies of this power have done exceptionally well for themselves

Like which ones? Sure, the US (being former colonies) is doing exceptionally well, but off the backs of others.

There's always an excuse. Many countries around the world and throughout history have been completely destroyed and then re-built by their people. They would also have a lot of excuses to remain in misery, but they decided to strive forward.

The principal thing I wonder is doesn't get boring to not move forward? If you live in squalor, what does it matter if you blame yourself or blame somebody else? You're still stuck there in the dirt.

Barbados, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brunei, Botswana...

Ah so the poorer ex-colonies are simply too moral to develop. How noble of them.
