To put things into perspective,"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" So for having absolute power are doing the best so far.There has never been a hyper power before. I think we are going to just have to agree to disagree at this point. As this is going around in circles.
No, there's never been a HYPER-power before now, and I really, really hope there isn't one for much longer. But as you say, if there's never been one before, how can you possibly compare? Who's to say Norway wouldn't be less of an asshole if they ruled the world, or someone? That's like saying I'm the best son my dad ever had (I'm an only child).
