Dennis Smith, on one of the unfortunate and ultimately unnecessary effects of superpower status:

These two nation [Great Britain and the United States] have, in turn, enjoyed the experience of global supremacy in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As a consequence they are known in the world far better than they, in turn, know that world. To use an analogy, the slave always has to know his or her master, in order to maximize the chances of survival. The master can enjoy the luxury of ignorance - at least until his throat is cut.
