Anything that is not based in some sort of democratic principle will tend toward "evil". It's the whole power corrupts thing. After a certain size, you need some centralization for a societal unit to function. If there isn't democratic principles built into that centralization, there is no check on that governments power, or their ability to take advantage of it's populace. America "forces" democracy because it's the only way of knowing that the people have a say in the government. America doesn't want to be known to associate with dictators (at least currently).
Now if you want to argue that people shouldn't have a say in how they are governed, I would agree with that. But unless you take that stance some sort of democracy is the only form of supportable government.
