Yes.

However..its called situational ethics. Which is a variable.

On the other hand..you should expect to be shot dead for your

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.
