Define responsibility. To whom or what is such a great power responsible? Why?
Is a great power responsible first and foremost to its own people? If so, to what degree and in what ways and why?
Is a great power responsible to other countries or the people in other countries? Why? Why not?
In terms of man's definition(s), a great power owes nothing, or if they do, they can simply forget about it. Who is left to object?
There are only two reasons for a great power to take on great responsibility.
(1) In doing so (to their own citizens or to other countries) they may benefit economically, politically and possibly militarily.
(2)They are in some way "mandated" to do so. Often this comes from a humanistic philosophy or that of a particular religion.

A superpower must protect poor countries from being invaded by another country.
Never invade a poor country in order to exploit its natural resources.
The superpower must act as mediator in the disputes of poor countries but must be fair in the application of the International Law.

Yeah, but don't tell America!
We have confused responsibility with bombing and stealing.
1- The great nations should stop acting like bullies and talk and facilitate negotiation instead of war and fighting
2- With their economies fully developed it is time to allow the developing nations to do the same instead of asking for free trade when they know their companies would win and crush the smaller countries' easily
3- The developed world should promise to destroy its own Weapons of mass destruction in exchange for the third world's/
