    What you mean is, governments that don't embrace *American* values are somehow inferior. The wonderful American freedom of speech, with Bush's 'free speech zones', the freedom to carry a gun to murder people with, the freedom to vote as a majority and still get Bush in power. Yeah, all these countries that don't share American values of freedom are really bad and evil ... especially without the 2nd amendment (hint: very little gun crime in China).
