| The Americans are on a crusade to shape the world as they see fit. It so happens that much of their 'vision' coincides with that of Western Europe/Japan et al. So yes, they are out to convert the 'unbelievers' to democracy and to a lesser extent christianity.
The main reason for converting autocracies/totalitarian states to democracy is to promote liberal market economics, which suit the economic policies of western governments. This is happening in most parts of the world except the Middle East and Africa. It might be pure coincidence that the majority of world conflicts currently occur in these 2 regions.
I don't want to say any more and bore you all with modern geo-economics (which I studied at university) suffice to say that America's 'enemies' are those that do not allow free market economics to flourish. More recently though, and especially with the Bush Administration, the influence of religion has had a more profound influence in American geo-politics.
