No one nation gets to police another or the world just because they have more power, resources, potential....
Certainly some questions that should be asked include but are not limited to: Under what rule would the others be subjected too? Would the rule be fair to all or just the ruling authority? Would there exist a ruling body or just a single authority?
Inevitably, greed and brute will raise it's ugly head; If that happens nations will be on the brink of a war to end all wars, if one nation were allowed to control all the others.
In order to rule or to have absolute control, the ruling nation would have to be all encompassing and no one nation is at that level.
All encompassing requires more than brute force and an economic sys/policies that others resent. In fact, many nations of the past may not have been as forceful or as wealthy as their invaders, but they still defended and standed the test of time against their invaders; especially invaders that were greedy, ignorant, power hungry and so forth.....

We can prevent this from happening again and again,if we believe in the power of truth.Might is power, and power is not right always.Truth is might and power that is why they are covering the truth. If you are powerful or mighty you will not hide the truth,hiding the truth makes you lame and coward.

I wonder if the response rate would have been higher, if this post would have been posted in another category.
We will never know but it is another example of a great topic, going un-noticed. At least to me, it is a great topic and one that challenges the mind too. Thanks for the best response.
