I see your point Clod and I agree. On the flip side though, every other world power has had some pretty bad cultural issues too. Look at the Brits and their system of government when they ruled the world. There were massive social problems at the time. Same with the French. The Romans won their way to front with slaves in the army.

I'm not so sure it matters that much really, but as times have changed, so too would the parameters I guess.
