American Hegemony?

As I noted the last time, every nations are tend to pursue power for their preservations in the glove. Then, it seems obvious that the most successful country having great power in the planet is the United States. What characterizes the US as the powerful country is military power.
According to John Mearsheimer,however, the US is not a hegemon because the US does not dominate all the other states in the system. Although no countries can acheive global hegemons, he tells us that countries can acheive regional hegemons.

I suggest that he confirms his idea which all country feel fear for the possibility to be attacked and destroyed by others based on the above 'hegemony theory.
