The Arab spring is probably a bad example. The west got a bit over-enthusiastic about the Arab Spring which turns out to be more of an Islamist Spring. I don't think many people think it was a good idea to destabilize Libya and Syria in hindsight.

The warring parties should have been left to sort it out among themselves. Naive interventions tend to have lots of unintended (harmful) consequences.
