You asked for a calculation, not an evaluation. I presented what you asked for.

The 2003 Iraq war was certainly a crime.

The 1991 Gulf War to liberate Kuwait wasn't.

The no-fly zone to protect Kurds in the north and Shiites in the south was certainly a good intervention.

So was the war against Serbia to protect Kosovo's Muslim Albanians from genocide.

Afghan women certainly didn't think US intervention against the Taliban in 2001 was a crime. Staying afterwards without a nation-building rehab plan was more stupid than criminal.

Obama letting the Russians back into the Middle East through Syria in 2015 was worse than a crime. It was stupid.

My negative view on America's Latin American interventions is here: https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/post-cards-from-the-border-refugee-crisis-e152c3a7e96c
