Lets reach a compromise here.
The US would be very happy with a world full of Canadas - nice, docile, medium sized economies that it can trade with.
The US would be quite happy with a world with a few friendly, strategically-placed dictatorships that can prevent communism, keep neighbouring countries in check and and permit the free and full export of the countries natural resources.
The US would not be happy with a world full of dictatorships, because that would mean the end of the world economy as we know it and be a hassle all round.
The US would not be happy with a world with another US in it. Monopoly power is always nicer than either oligopoly power or a bipolar standoff.
