(A+)humanitarian needs
Technically, it was supposed to be sanctions by the entire United Nations. Everyone agreed that Sadam had killed far too many and that his invasion of Kuwait was an aggressive act of war. Sadam had openly expressed his admiration for Hitler and wanted to follow his leadership, killing Jews and anyone who he considered to be "not of his type".
After the United Nations passed sanctons against Sadam, Germany, France and Russia started buying his oil, assuring that he was able to continue with his goals and continuing to keep him rich. Prior to the attack of Iraq in THIS war, the U.N. voted MOSTLY in favor of removing Sadam from power, with Germany, France and Russia voting against... Russia has veto power so the vote was irrelevant. That's why the U.N. did not participate in the war.
Whomever told you that they were U.S. sanctions only wanted you to know half of the story.
