Are you speaking for the only country who has never ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child??

The US went to war on false pretences of WMD and delivered a dialog of lies and deceit to the UN representing the international community - an organization the US is part of - as the excuse for this action.
No.. you never did go to war to "remove a brutal dicator" - but the US did cooperate fully in encouraging Saddam to engage in a war with Iran and there is also the matter of a green light to invade Kuwait - an issue the US Ambassador in that country has not forgotten.
