Why is Washington so determined to bring democracy to the Middle East (with the exception of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the Emirates), Africa, Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, and China, but is hostile to constitutional rights in america?

I'm late here, and red's link may no longer be valid, but if Americans had Democracy, we wouldn't be Americans.  At least not Americans in the sense that the founders had in mind.  Of course, by taking Democracy to other nations, we almost guarantee their demise.  Perhaps a better question would be why can't other nations have a representative republic?
