Millions of bombed, displaced and otherwise sanctioned to oblivion might disagree with this level of modesty and humility.
- elefanten 6y agoThe word "relatively" served a purpose in that statement. Can you name a hegemon that was more peaceful and humane? Which European colonial power at its height, which Chinese dynasty, which Mongol khanate would you prefer? Maybe America wouldn't be top of the list but the point is made in distinction to other regimes that achieved remotely similar power differentials.
