Hand wringing over every contingency leads to paralysis. I don't see any negative implications, I see people trying to make the best of a country devastated by war and oppression.
This isn't star trek where we can debate the prime directive and make long convoluted episodes where somehow the natives help themselves despite the blundering of a well meaning starfleet officer.
