The only way you can have worldwide peace is if there is one person or nation in complete domination or control who all others cannot stand up to or would dare challenge your ideals.
That's how the law works in your own country even if each countries ideals or beliefs are different than what we consider to be right.... and so we have the reason for war in full circle.
Remember that peace needs enforcing. And if someone threatens us disrupt that peace we have by attacking us, we go to war.
Just the same as we lock up someone who threatens us or assaults us, within our legal system. We incarcerate them so they cannot continue to do it.
In an international sense, if there is a potential aggressor or an actual aggressor, we need to be prepared to defend or go to war to ensure they don't harm our way of life. All this talk of peace is in reality... idealistic claptrap.

You do realize that you are, in reality, behaving in the manner that you accuse the US of. Right? That you are being absolutist and fatalistic in your terminology. IE you are the one with the dominating rhetoric?
Right?
If peace is "idealistic claptrap" to you - then you're just transferring your own aggressions onto others in my opinion and that's something for you to make peace with.
