"the western nations should form a Pro Democracy League, Like the Arab League or the African Union - not just covering one region but pledging all members to assist and promote democratic self determination among it's members and eliminating despotism for the common good."
1.) Why would problem regimes join such a league in the first place, knowing that they were likely to swiftly be shown the rod?
2.) Assuming they did for the sake of argument, there isn't enough money in all the world. Then there's reconstruction costs, and the fact that the world has never been in a state where strife and subjugation were absent. Even otherwise free and prosperous countries will never be able to raise enough money to you know, advance, because they'll always be too busy putting out someone elses fires and rebuilding.
What you want sounds perversely like the Twilight Zone version of the Justice League. Only I don't even think Bruce Wayne has enough money to fund your operation.
