Countries will always have more power than another, until you get to the bottom. And it should be that way. A perfect society would be an ignorant society (and a shallow society). A perfect example of this would be communism. Everyone is equal. This world faces anarchy, ultimately, leaving the world leader to whomever can claim it.

That's okay, I don't say that might makes right is necessarily wrong. I agree that it's the way thing's work in the long run. However, the most powerful nation's "right" is not necessarily the same as the true "right" in the objective sense.
So if CIA agents want to be immune to kidnapping, let them keep their desires. And when their enemies try to kidnap them, let them try and stop them. And when CIA enemies finally
do kidnap them, an objective observer would really have no problem with it. An American observer, though, might have a problem, just as an Italian observer might have a problem when CIA agents kidnap Italian operatives.
A lot of times it just comes down to realizing whether or not you
have enough might to even fight to make your "right" the dominant "right" in the world.
