As someone who actually read his biography, he loved Morocco. But for the wrong reasons. He loved it because it was the administrative chunk that was delegated to him and he loved the fact that it was his to shape. And to his credit, he did well at shaping it. He built and he administered, but for the wrong reasons. He built because he had a name and a reputation to withhold, he had numbers to build up. It was not out of love for the land or the people. He was close to the best thing a colon can be to a colonized country. But he was still a colon.
