I believe that as the leader of the free world U.S has certain responsibilities that go beyond its borders. If it can do something good (i.e overthrow a dictator) and perhaps serves its interests as well(make new friends) I don't see why it shouldn't do that. It's a win-win. See South and North Korea situation to understand what difference it makes a successful intervention.

Which countries experienced something good from a succesful US intervention? Why does US criticize other win-win interventions?
South Korea, West Germany are two examples. Compare that with North Korea and East Germany
Was that intervention or just results of WW2? Recent examples? Why doesn’t US free DPRK now that USSR gone and it is weaker than ever?
