It seems like to me there is always some ulterior motive when it comes to liberating other countries, and of course that motive is U.S. interests. We are usually willing to help if it benefits us in some way (be it economic, or shoving our western values and culture down their throats), but when countries do try to liberate themselves we don't like it because then we don't get the satisfaction of being the "white knight in shining armor", especially if it actually goes against our material interests for them to be liberated (see the Cuban Revolution). Its all part of the whole White Savior complex
