That would be because the premise of his question is incorrect. America are not trying to take over Muslim countries. Each case he gave have different stories but let's start with Libya: America are not invading Libya. They are part of a UN mission to enforce a no fly zone, even then they seem to be a minor force with the French and British leading the way. It's simply false on two levels the assertion that America are taking over Libya.
Iraq and Afganistan were different, those were invasion forces led by America. However 'taking over' is a tad strong. I think they stayed much longer than they would have liked, ideally they wanted to leave the countries with stable governments. Governments friendly to the West granted, but free elections mean they would have little control over who got elected.
