The US is already the dominant world power. Policy is to maintain that position of dominance rather than to surrender it to a regional power and end up in another Cold War like state. This is completely the normal thing to do for a country in the position the US holds. Any other strategy might be a grave mistake.
It is no different than a country like France that attempts to use the UN and the EU in order to increase it's power in the world. It was just last year that France was speaking of becoming a world power again someday. Should everyone be frightened that France wants to be a world power again? Seems to me that is a completely normal objective for a nation such as France. Is Chirac then in the same league as Hitler?
China wants to become a world-power. Their entire private and public policy is geared towards that aim. They are growing at 7% per year and plan to pass Japan and become the world's second largest economy in about 50 years. Is Hu Jintao then another Hitler?
