"World police" is only a "feel-good" argument to dilute the fact, that you are mainly following a strategy of militarnt foreign policy. The more you'll get your primacy over world challenged, the more you'll be limited on this strategy.
Emerging countries are testing the boundaries of their influence. Cnsequently, Neo-Cons wanted to secure the Greater Middle-East as solely US influence zone in a challenging 21st century with major competition. Make things straight in this area, secure this area before those emerging countries get stronger and capabilities to implement their own designs on this region.
Simple hegemonial politics, no "Mother Teresas" in Washington policeing the world for goodness of mankind.
