When the 1991 Gulf War was debated in the House, I said I believed it was important because of Saddam's invasion of Kuwait that the United Nations and the West should respond and that I supported the war effort. What I objected to at the time – I was on my own – was that the war effort was being undertaken by the United States. That was my problem then and it is still is. The UN Security Council is not democratic and its members do not have equality of status, my problem is the United Nations is the plaything of the United States.
