This isn't a "Why did we invade Iraq" thread, so I won't get into that, I'm just pointing out what I see as a flaw in your argument of saying "Because we can and we want to"

Fair enough... but given that I was addressing "unilateralism" I think most can see what I was getting at.
Perhaps it would have been better to say... "We don't care what you think. We're going to do it anyway. Damn the consequences."
It is one thing to be an important part of Global Security it is entirely another to just throw your weight around like the school yard bully. People start to resent this.
