Absolute power corrupts absolutely. America, every European colonial power, Britian, the Soviet Union, and Imperial Japan have each had their share of atrocities where they were unchallenged superpowers. There's a lot to be said for multipolarity. Additionally, I'd point out the US funds ~1/4 of the UN (China next at ~1/10). Which seems pretty generous to maintaining internal order in a broad way.
