Military intervention should be based on the sustainable optimal totalitarian national interest of the nation intervening, not any pseudo-moral or religious reasons.
U.S. intervening to annex Hawaii and the the Native American lands was optimal, both for U.S. and for the world, whether it was for the best for the people of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the Native Americans or not; In the end, it didn't matter. They were not strong enough. They had no right to keep the land from U.S.
U.S. intervening to take Panama from Columbia was also optimal both for U.S. and for the world.
U.S. should have annexed Cuba after the Spanish-American war. That would have been the best for U.S., Cuba, and the world.
U.S. should have granted Philippine independence from the get go, instead of playing the colonial overlord.
U.S. should have sided with Kaiser in WW1, and granted all the colonies independence; it would have kept Germany occupied with managing Europe, and kept communism out of Russia, with U.S. benefiting from the trade with the ex-colonies.
No WW2, The Cold War, and the pseudo-Islamic radicalism later on.
Before his death, someone asked Alexander the Great, on who would be his designated successor should he die, he responded: "To the strongest one."
U.S. had engaged in terrorism, and has supported the terrorist movement when it was in U.S. interest. Anything wrong with that?
