"Reparations" is an ugly thing for a patriot to call something their country has done for the world... you would call it a "gift" regardless... in our world similar situations have happened at both international government and corporate levels... the BP oil rig scandal for instance... it was mandated, yet BP spun it as BP "giving back to the community" because "we fucked up, so we have to do this" is not the way one wishes to write their own history.
