The US will have 25% of the world market simply because it essentially has that amount of productivity and resources. Sure it's a type of default setting I understand that, but land mass is land mass and resources are resources.
I'm sure the bombs are a touchy subject in Japan, just as I'm sure Nanking is a touchy subject in China or Pearl Harbor is in the US. All nations have scars they don't like to talk about.
As to superpower status and karma...The US was pretty much a backwards hick country in 1901, By 1945 world events had created the US superpower, it wasn't like America went out of it's way to become such.
As for the wars going on now, I don't know, anything either of us say is pure conjecture on our respective parts.
