I don't see how helping people who need it when you have the power to do something is a bad thing.

Well here in Philadelphia some people called the police to complain about their neighbors and they ended up burning down the neighborhood.
As many 'neighbors' have suffered under regimes we supported as have been freed from regimes we dissolved.
While we have a volunteer military, maybe an extreme interventionist philosophy will work for some. Eventually, however, we will have to draft 18-year-old kids to police the new world order this philsophy wishes to establish. And we will bankrupt ourselves in the same way the Soviet Union did trying to keep up with US spending during the cold war.
