How about we merely repossess their nation. Britain and America get first choice. ;)

Not a bad idea, in the abstract, most of those nasty little countries were much safer and healthier, better run, when they were run from the Colonial Office. The problem is that it would cost a great deal to resume the white man's burden (being quite blunt about the problem -- black africans and the arabs and other moslems seem incapable of running countries other than as nasty tribal satrapies) and I doubt that America, let alone Britain or any of the other former European colonial powers, is willing to make the sacrifice in terms of money, materiel and manpower necessary to put things back into an order even as good as existed in Africa and Asia in 1914.
