Read The Grand Chessboard by Zbigniew Brzezinski. He makes a very strong case for US hegemony. Btw, I do respect your points. I'm rather conflicted about this topic myself. We don't really know what the world would be like if the US were to practice isolationism - and we don't get do-overs for history if we mess it up. The powers that be seem to have decided that a forced stability is better than the risk of global instability.
