This is the definition of "the colonialist attitude."
The "white man's burden" was the justification for all manner of interventionist, abusive (and self serving) policies.
Countries can definitely improve without "our" help - that's not to say we shouldn't offer our help, but we definitely shouldn't go around assuming inherent superiority.
