Well arrogance denotes a behavior while empire denotes a de facto mechanism that is frequently employed as foreign policy most commonly words as “American interests”. We do not engage in these endeavors for the betterment of foreign citizens. We engage in these endeavors for American business interests and long term foreign policy goals and alleged stability as we see fit. We define those terms since we hold the greatest amount of capital and are also motivated with a post WWII fervor that has not yielded even with the end of the Cold War. Perhaps it is not a traditional empire but it is “empire like”.

But doesn’t empire imply ownership?

I think there is a better word. I don’t know what it is.
