Well, the two are really the same, no?
If I have great power, I must be able to do something with it, therefore I am responsible for things.
If I have great responsibility, that means I am responsible for things, and I have to have some power over them.
Can anyone think or someone with great responisiblty and no power? A carer, maybe?

Yes, very much so. Consider the situation of Taiwan in the world today for example. Under the post-war San Francisco Peace Treaty, the United States is the principal occupying power of Taiwan. Hence, sooner or later the world community will have to face up to the fact that Taiwan is actually an overseas territory of the USA.

Yes logically it should, but is doesn't always turn out that way. Power is the ability to influence others, and then your responsibility is that you influence people in the right way. In ways that are for the betterment of others not only yourself. Like Oprah she is a good example of Power and Responsibility coupling well.

No, power is knowledge and knowledge is power. Responsibility comes no where near anything remotly to do with power. With responsibility you are constantly controlled by something that is makeing the responsibility evident.

Yes, but since when have Americans ever taken responsibility for their actions? The US's "culture of victims" is pathetic: nobody's guilty, nobody's responsible, and nobody's accountable.
And nobody's figured out why the US was attacked on 9/11, either.

It should, but remember the saying -
"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Take a look at GW Bush for a prime example.

It doesn't have to. You can be a powerful guy and be a douche bag. I think that saying came about because people with power SHOULD think about how their power influences others. They should have a moral obligation to not abuse their power.
