Obviously the non-military aspect of 'liberal internationalist' imperialism - such as the UN - has been fairly beneficial for the US and the interests of at least its elite. When this philosophy of international relations has been used to engage in aggressive wars - such as Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, etc., its utility has been very poor.
