I think this is because our combination of political and economic liberty is not something unique to America -- we were just the first ones to do it -- but that it will work for any humans, anywhere, as long as other, more grasping, humans don't queer it for everyone.
Most people do want what we have, I agree, but it is pointless to force it upon them if they do not want it because it will fail miserably. If they want what we have they can have it but we should never tell them what they want.
