debaser:
i dont think you have your basic facts together.
for example, estimates of the death toll in the congo alone, under the belgians, from 1885 to 1910 run as high as 10 million people.
here's a review/little net doodad:

or you might read a book:
Adam Hochschild's King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa (from the site above)
or if something more pissed off is more your cup o tea, chinweizu's "the west and the rest of us":

there are entire sections in any university library on this stuff....
books are good.
and this pertains to the belgians in the congo alone...so i dont know what "moral relativism" you are talking about.
but whatever.
this is not interesting.
there's no point in a debate.
there's no need to respond.
