My problem with your problem is that once we open the door to changing the Constitution, we will most certainly screw it up. Who in Washington would you trust to change it? I wouldn't trust half the Senate to run a 7-11, I wouldn't trust 80% of the House of Representatives to run a lemonade stand and I wouldn't trust anyone in the White House to do anything.

But I agree with you on the problem of forcing our way on other countries. I think the criteria for deciding which nations to force it on seems a little suspicious. I don't think we choose by need as much/often as we choose by greed. And, let's face it: freedom ain't for everybody whether we like it or not.

And lastly, I'm late in saying what a magnificent post Rich has made. BigV beat me to it.
