why would our governments do this? It's like they ignore their own history. Iran 1953, Afghanistan 1980's to present, Iraq 2003-2011 and now possibly Syria. Why install a radical muslim dictator just so later on we will overthrow them for what horrible acts they will do? We even done this to non-muslim states like Chile and america tried it's luck with Venezuela and Cuba before. But I just don't understand that and what i can't believe is no one has really noticed it, all we need to do is look at the last 60 years and we can see it has happened. It's like everything is a big conspiracy

Ask people from Zero Hedge or Pepe Escobar of AsiaTimes, they'll probably tell you it's a fight for hydrocarobnes transit routes, ask people with more traditional background in geopolitics they'd probably tell -- the whole idea of Arab Spring is to destabilize the region (it certainly done that, whether for better or worse) for whatever reason. Both might not be mutually exclusive.
But given your question is more general (and rhetorical, still answer it anyway), I believe you confusion is coming from the idea of national government pursuing national interests. Since the stance of major EU countries on situation in Syria is questionable if not counter-productive in regards to their national interests, confusion is understanable. Simple solution is to get rid of idea of national goverment when talking about Western World entirely, it doesn't exist.

I suppose you support the European Union then? they want a European super state in the end

Not sure, why you decided I'm pro-EU, I'm indifferent.
EU "superstate" is following the same schema for building a nation (how successful is another story). Nation (=nation-state) is relatively new invention, there're no nations older than 200 years old. So when I'm talking about meaningless attempts to understand these events from strictly national viewpoint of interested parties, in reality I'm talking about globalism, that when fully-developed would logicaly deny anything national, even EU.
I makes me sound like I'm anti-globalist, I'm not, I'm alter-globalist. The problem is there's no alter- right now :D
