What is your reasoning for us being obligated to make things all hunky dory?
I don't really feel we owe them that. Plus, it stands in the way of self-determination.

Who tried to kill who? Sorry, feel like I'm missing something.

And ^^^ answers your second bit. We (under false pretenses IMO) took out their government. We have an ethical obligation to re-stabilize them.
It's also in our best interest that their government isn't taken over by groups who would, I don't know, want to retaliate for our invasion of a sovereign country.
