The Clinton example was shows the hypocrisy in the stated goals of American foreign policy. Also, you miss the part where Clintons administration mislead international bodies even when it had clear evidence that what was going on in Rwanda was genocide

Intervention in Rwanda would have resulted in nothing near an existential threat for America. Just like Saddam and Iraq didn't pose anything near an existential threat to America. After it was clear that Iraq possessed no so called "WMDs", the narrative quickly shifted to "we did it for humanitarian reasons". What I wanted to make clear was that the US never does anything for "humanitarian" reasons, but only when it's personal interests are in favour of doing said thing.
Also, you chose the weakest example of the lot, where US involvement was minimal. The rest of the examples make it clear that the US has no problem with evil of the highest order when it stands to gain.
