The US is on the Security Council, so it can't take action against us. We'd simply veto it. Breaking a rule isn't defined by it's punishment but by it's act. We have broken the UN Charter. We've invaded a sovereign nation that was not a threat to us. These acts are illegal. These acts are immoral. As a direct result of the power vacuum we created, there is now a civil war that we've gotten sucked in to.
If you kill someone but you're too powerful to be arrested by the police, a crime has still been committed.
