It's the democratic way. Might makes right.
America has more international economic power and more willingness to use substantial military power than any other single nation. So, America gets involved where it thinks it should.
Some might argue that this is just another form of grandstanding and bully tactics, where the US is just forcing people to go its way. Others would argue that the US has a moral obligation to fight the forces of evil, and if that requires toppling tyrannical dictators, so be it.
But regardless of whether and how it's justified, the answer is because we can. And because those in political power are more concerned with accomplishing their own political agendas than with helping the people who elected them.

No one, but when your the strongest nation in the world who can stop you. The U.S. has had its hand in most things since WWII when it arose as a world power. Now everyone looks to what the US thinks when they look at their foreign policy.

You think its rough now? Wait and see how things here go if we let the rest of the world go to crap. With the international nature of our economy we can't afford to not intervene....same as Europe and Russia and Asia...everyone does it.

It's awfully strange how half the world is trying to lose weight while the other half is struggling to diminish hunger.

the monroe doctrine gives us the right of police power over the western hemisphere, the truman doctrine (which came later) gives us the right of police power over the eastern hemisphere.

doesn't it make you feel safe in your home, knowing that thousands of miles and thousands of years of history away, we are pushing our version of "right and wrong" upon nations that r fully capable of governing itself and living in peace before we (America) decided to stick our nose in or using Israel to do so,
and lets face it, it is not our job to replace nasty governments or support crazy regimes.....using our tax dollars and the lives of our gi's........hell, i think bush and company are thugs, will someone call for regime change?
