Sheesh.  How long does a country have to behave themselves before 
they're
a candidate for "moral guide"?  And if it's that long, how come the US
isn't in trouble for assorted nastiness well before WW2?

How about Australia or New Zealand?  Norway, Finland, or the 
Netherlands?
Or does it have to be a superpower?  (Not with your iceland 
recommendation,
I guess, although perhaps that's the problem.)  Who qualifies as a
superpower these days, anyway?

What sort of moral shape is India in?
