I don't think anyone here would dispute that the "spread of liberal democracy and freedom across the globe" is an excellent goal... what is always at dispute is how to achieve those ends...
Bush and company would say, "the only way to win is to kill the terrorist" while others would argue that education and diplomacy are much better ways of achieving those goals.
Unfortunately, those methods are too slow for many who like their results to be quickly achieved so they can go onto the next "big thing". It is further exacerbated by the fact that the US, in many ways (mostly subversive) is the kettle calling the pot black. For America to go abroad preaching peace, while waving guns and economic red flags is tough for many to swallow (it kinda gets their backs up).
