I feel like a lot of people have a lot of trouble appreciating the wars that _didn't_ happen under American hegemony. I don't believe we're perfect in anyway, but under our influence the world has been more peaceful and interconnected than at any other time in world history.

Similar to the violence that was quelled under Saddam. It's difficult to appreciate and measure that which is absent.
