I'm of the opinion that it takes several generations of living in a well structured nearly-free state for a country to be ready to self govern with a true democratic state. While this did occur on its own in several European states, human history indicates that it is not a natural/stable form of state ...

Personally, my fear with re-colonization is that most wester democracies have taken sever steps back over the past 60 years and we're not as free as we once were. With the greater power our government has it is far more likely that colonization will result in western governments grabbing more powerful and becomming like third world dictatorships.
