From 1945 to 1989 the UN Security Council authorised a new peacekeeping operation, on average, about once every four years. Since the end of the Cold War, that frequency has risen to an average of one new mission every six months. Similarly, over that same period the United States has led multinational interventions in Kuwait, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq and, in 2004, Haiti once again, although that operation was quickly turned over to the UN.

The American-led intervention in Iraq, which did not gain UN Security Council endorsement and was conducted in an oil-rich society, might be viewed as an exception to this rule. Nevertheless, while many governments regretted America's entry into Iraq, few want it to leave prematurely, and most support the UN Security Council mandate which eventually came. Further, whatever role Iraq's oil wealth may have played in the American decision to invade, it is never likely to repay or even defray the cost of the intervention. By contrast, oil certainly played a large role in the international community's decision to go to the rescue of Kuwait in 1991, an intervention that was funded, in part, by Kuwaiti oil money. On the other hand, the nation-building component of that operation was minimal.
