You are completely off base. The first is NOT how the US has acted. We asked the UN to enforce its resolutions and waited YEARS, to no avial.
The second is specious - there are no international law enforcement and intelligence agencies. There is no World Government.
The third we have done for decades. The US is the most generous world power in the history of human kind. But in the end, each country is sovereign. If it wishes to bite us when we have offered aid and friendship, then it is responsible for the consequences.
We only gave the appearance of allowing the UN to enforce its mandates. Dubbyuh's had a woody for Saddam from day one of his administration.
"International" as in those of other countries.
No, we have not. It again boils down to appearance. Little of the US foreign aid ever made it down to the local level where it would have done the most good. The vast bulk of it went into the pockets of tin-horn dictators and their syncophants. Reza Palahvi, Augusto Pinochet, Juan Batista, Saddam Hussein, just to name a few.
