It really wouldn't work out very well if we decided that (for example) theocracy was a better form of government, would it? America believes the democratic process is the best because it works for us.
We really don't spend too much time pushing against other countries. The Cold War wasn't so much about ideological conflict as it was about positioning against a competing superpower; we needed allies just as they needed allies.
Technically we're not a democracy; we're a republic. The people don't govern; they choose representatives to make policy decisions for them. In fact we don't even choose our executive branch; the electoral college has nothing to do with popular mandate.
