That's disingenuous. The "liberal multicultural democracy" things is the myth of american values. You can measure values by what your ideals are, but most of the world measures them by judging the motivation of your actions. And when you are roasting protesters in order to maintain your hedgemony, most people would judge your motivations as less-than-liberal. Now, a lot of the american liberal values are still evident if we look at internal affairs, but the international picture is quite different. If we are interpreting values to mean ideals we can say that most middle eastern nations are peaceful to the point of self-sacrifice (and if you haven't read the Koran and the life of Muhammad, you should) and Japanese revere the natural environment and take pleasure in the character their appliances gain as they age (wabi-sabi). Finally, an american pointing out that other nations and peoples are violent is a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black.
