Us dutchies are decent on admitting our faults.
I think we are pretty clear about our mistakes in Indonesia, the biggest issue is probably the triangle trade in slaves.
This is not something we stand behind as far as I know, though we still harken back to the times of the VOC as good because it was a 'golden age'.

I respectfully disagree. I've always thought of Dutchies as open-minded but I remember reading a plaque at the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam) that left my jaw on the floor by being overly euphemistic. It was an exhibit of about 2-dozen weapons symbolically surrendered by Indonesian leaders; the text was worded as if it was a voluntary gift of their own volution. I thought a little self-honesty would go a long way.
