The more you dig into it, the more you will find that America's postwar foreign policy has been an unnecessary evil. The situation in the middle east is an object example. Are we better off now with Isis at the gates of Baghdad than with Saddam in charge? How has the US interest been served by attempting to topple Bashar al-Assad? The answer is not well: the civil war simply means that Assad is less able to suppress radical Islamist elements. The US engineered a coup to topple Mossadegh in 1953 - now, in place of a secular socialist state, we have an Islamist theocracy. What we did to the Soviets in Afghanistan wan't bad enough apparently; we had to step into their footsteps and take an even worse beating ourselves.
The neo-con philosophy has actually eroded US hegemony by sowing chaos and instability. In the aftermath of various coup attempts and subversion efforts, our attempts to control the outcome have been outright failures. People who are violently anti-American have stepped into the power vacuum we created.
When we tried such moves in Ukraine and Hong Kong, we were unceremoniously handed our behinds. China and Russia were having none of it.
This mess doesn't bother the neocons at all. Why? Because their worldview is not US-centric at all. It doesn't bother them to see the US getting a bloody nose - it's not about the US, they couldn't care less.
