Domination/Hegemony has been the only sense of peace historically. In that sense, I think that the continued stability of the United States as a prosperous and well-run democracy is very important for the world. It looks shaky though, and it's partly outside my control. What do I know, I'm in Europe. Europe is certainly not projecting any hegemony around.
