The paranoia surrounding US relations with for example, Venezuela which is putting oil dollars into hospitals and schools, makes the US look imperialistic and shows that its aid is based solely on the basis of spreading an unfair free trade system that only benefits its self.

The United States doesn't need to just suck up to the UN and pay their fees; they need to use the UN as a tool for humanitarian interventions. I'm not talking about "let's discuss this with the Sudanese government, hold hands, and sing happy songs" approach to Darfur. The UN, with the overwhelming support of the US, needs to go in and get its hands dirty. The only good argument for why humanitarian interventions are bad is that they "hurt American hegemony by overstretching the military." But international relations aren't only dictated by hard power, and given how outrageously low American soft power is at the moment, humanitarian interventions can only increase positive perceptions of the United States. #5 doesn’t quite go far enough.
