The americans had an opportunity to invade the islands during a conflict with Argentina in 1831 when the USS Lexington destroyed the main port and lef tthe islands in anarchical estate. Also, I'm not saying other countries don't do that, but USA is the main country that does that (well, at least disputing the 1º position with Britain), is the 1º superpower, the leader of the NATO, etc...

Also, even if USA weren't the main country and other suporpowers were more interventionist than the americans, USA still does it, Washington would be despleased about that, not caring about how many other countries do the same.
