bush and blair indicted for war crimes?

Question

Can someone please explain to me why Bush and Blair STILL haven't be held to account not only for their war in Iraq which did not get sanctioned by the UN, but the fact they lied about their reasons for doing it, and the fact that thousands of people have since died un-necessarily for it?
this is such an obvious scam... yet no one is holding them accountable... so instead they are putting their heads together to hatch a new plan or aggression towards another middle eastern country.

wow! you guys are really messed up!!! iraq posed absolutely no threat to US security!!! so all those dead people would still be alive if the US hadn't have gone in there and messed it up!!! if bush hadn't lied about it.... what is happening now is not the fault of the shiites and sunnis, what is happening now is a consiquence lies and deciept by the US and UK govt.

Answer 1

So what exactly is the scam? Get everyone in their countries to hate them, then become dictators? I hate to burst your bubble but this is not how tyranny works. If you read your history book before making such idiotic statements you'd realize that dictators get the people to think that they'd be better off with them in power. I don't think to many people would go for this, mainly because of people like you spreading lies about them.

The Iraq War is not illegal as well. We declared war on terror, and Saddam was a terrorist, hence War with Saddam. He didn't lie about WMDs, he was off intelligence thaat amny people believed to be accurate. Plus that fact that we gave Iraq WMDs to fight the Iranians in the '80s.

Answer 2

I agree, they should be. After all, there is plenty of evidence to suggest war was being planned at least a year before it was declared. Bombing raids were taking place in Iraq months before the war was official - surely a war crime in itself. Only the fact that it is costing him votes is stopping Bush - not the death toll either of Iraqi citizens and UK/USsoldiers.

Probably the citizens of Venezuela are breathing a sigh of relief because Bush's preoccupation with Iraq is stopping him indulging in the usual terror tactics of US governments, which have included bombing before now (check out History of U.S. Interventions in Latin America) and the threat of nuclear action.

I also think the leaders of the various factions involved in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka or wherever who prepared to kill until everyone of their opponents are dead, no matter how many others are killed on the way, should also be held to account, because they will not be satisfied

Whatever your politics, bombing and murdering people because they think differently from you is unacceptable

Answer 3

Quite possibly because this notion is unreasonable.

You see, in the real world, war crimes consist of stepping outside the bounds of human decency and simply killing civilians at random even after the conflict have ended.

What boggles my mind is why there isn't a call for war crime charges to be brought up against the Sunni and Shiite militia leaders. They seem to be the ones doing all the killings in Iraq... not U.S. forces.

Answer 4

There have been war like crimes but they have their clever ways of covering all up. For instance, WACO.
Yes, George Bush should be brought up on war crimes. He knew he started this war based on a lie. He knew it would take lives of soilders and Iraqi people. He also knew he had to protect 'his' oil.

Answer 5

Josh has your answer. And your hysterical response would seem to indicate that you haven't thought this through or done your homework.

Sigh. Not that it'll change your mind. Go on thinking that.

Answer 6

Think about how effective the UN is, and you will have your answer.
