Yes, we need the ability to protect our interests, and to secure our borders, and to keep ourselves safe in a dangerous world.  What we don't need is the ability to use military force against whatever nation we see as a problem, for whatever reason.  We went into Vietnam to "fight Communism" and "win the hearts and minds of the people".  When we lost that one, Communism didn't take over SE Asia after all, and Vietnam became a trading partner.  We went into Iraq because it was seen as a threat to us, which was bogus.  The PNAC agenda is what it is, and it is being discredited to the benefit of our nation and the rest of the world.
