The British' principles gave us the Kashmir/Pakistani conflict, and (coupled with France and various other European nations) numerous civil wars across Africa.

The US' principles gave us decades of corruption and drug trade in South America.

The USSR's principles gave us the iron curtain, and the Afghan and Czechen rebellions.

I'm sure there's nuances all around, but let's not pretend the previous perpetrators were a shining beacon of morality.

It’s the potential the principles offer, the language they engender. Without these principles some ideas remain infertil.
