Fortunately for humanity, Bertrand Russel's hopes were not fulfilled. The United Nations Organization was created as envisioned, but it would take many more decades before the control over the U.N. could be brought under the dictum of British policy and ideology. That this has been achieved is evident by the spectacles that could now be mounted, such as "Dessert Storm" in which the mightiest military machine on the planet was unleashed to bomb a virtually defenseless nation back to a stone age type existence and then isolate it in is misery. Officially, the goal of Dessert Storm was to reverse the invasion of Kuwait which Iraq had aimed to reclaim. Kuwait had been historically a part of Iraq but was carved away from Iraq by British involvement since 1899 by which Kuwait became an independent British protectorate at the start of World War I. Obviously it was foolish of Iraq to try to reclaim from the Empire what it has claimed as its own, to say nothing about the inhumanity of such an act. It is certainly no longer acceptable in today's age to invade another nation for any reason, no matter how justifiable that reason may seem. But this, really, wasn't the issue for which the bombing campaign was launched. Sure, the principle of respect for the sovereignty of another nation and its people, was widely paraded before the eyes of the world, while in secret it was laughed at. Not many years after Dessert Storm the Empire, itself, tore to shreds those very principles it had claimed to have fought for. It did this when it gave itself the right to do in Africa, and on a much larger scale, what Iraq had attempted to do in the Middle East. The only difference was that the Empire's invasion of a sovereign nation in Africa was carried out commercially though in the empire's cartel interest, which financed and otherwise supported the invasion of Zaire and the genocide of more than a million people.
