Prime Ministers can't be sued for affairs of state, although they should be for the state of affairs Phoney Blair's created.

Actually the war ended 3 years ago, the stabilisation force is there to train local police officers and a new national defence force, along with rebuilding the degraded power grids and water ways etc.
So when rebels against the new democratic state rise up and attack not just the servicemen and women but their own countrymen and women too, a force is needed to protect and stop anarchy taking hold. Once the local authorities and defence force can operate with out the aide of outside agencies then I expect you will see troops moving out to come home.
Who is to say if the war was illegal or not, I can't but:-
Was it the right thing to depose Saddam or not?

I think it's legal based on UN resolution which required Iraq to comply with the inspections.
What is ironic is why was Saddam being so disruptive and uncooperative with the inspectors when he didn't even really have any WMDs? Yes they did find some 600 or so chemical warheads, but we were expecting much, much more.

I think you already know that it is an illegal war. There was no justification for it. Iraq did not attack us nor did they make any threats towards us.
And don't even get me started on Afghanistan.Bombing an entire country to find one man? Why didn't they just send in the CIA or MI5.

Dont forget Afghanistan is also one of the major poppy growing areas if they dont find the man which in my opinion has odds about the same as hell freezing over then at least the bombs that hit the poppy fields means less narcotics on the streets the longer it goes on the less drug will be about where does the talibans money come from those self same poppys

Good question....mmmmm. maybe we could go back further and sue Winston Churchill for the war with Germany.....can we sue the Emperor Augustus for his wars against the assorted barbarians? Darn where to start is so hard to figure out.

I believe someone in USA tried to take Bush to court over it. It was thrown out. It would have to be someone who suffered. It could be an Iraq citizen or a relative of a dead or injured soldier. Blair is Teflon coated in these things. He has lied for years so would you get the truth I doubt it.
