The US was just not ready to be a Super Power, I don't think. It's not "grown up" enough to act responsibly. It lacks a lot of subtlety and tact, it's like a fat, loud obnoxious 12-year old bullying all other kids on the playground.
It's a shame, too, because it can be a true leader that is followed out of respect and not fear. It just chooses the other path, time and time again, since it's easier.
