tony blair: war criminal?

Question

should Tony Blair and George Bush be tried as was criminals? Do you feel they lead our countries to an illegal war, killing hundres of thousands of innocent people, directly and indirectly, trampling all over a county and leaving caos and destruction in their wake?

To scruffyc.
Your facts are very bias and one sided. You are entitled to your opinion, as am I, but your "facts" are purley propoganda, as seen in any war. Switch on any world news program and see the real facts, then come back and answer my question!!
Everyone else...great answers!! It's gonna be hard to choose the best.

to earnest...
er...Lyndsey England

oh, and earnest...check YOUR morals! Innocent people dying, sometimes 100's per day, because it's not on your door step, is that ok? In your case...the blind leading the blind! I am a decent , moral person with high values, hense my question...

I am a decent , moral person with high values, hense my question...and as for supporting our leaders? We have invaded a country to enforce democracy on them, but to be told to support our leaders...isn't that a dictatorship?

Answer 1

They are morally guilty. I'm not quite sure about international laws regarding this to say if they should be tried as war crimiunals.

But I find them to have commited grave crimes against humanity, though not to the same extent as those that have been tried as war criminals in the past.

Answer 2

Try the rest of the population who supported the shock and awe bombing. Congress who I believe voted near unanimously to give Bush wide powers wage war.

By the way, has the few members of congress or the senate that had reservations and wanted debate at the start of the war (much hated by the press at the time) been raised upon shoulders and carried down the street as heroes for their convictions. Before condemning leaders you should look at the followers. Forget party politics and look at the nation as a whole.

Answer 3

no longer a hero, merely doing his interest the perfect he could desire to. I dont think of he replaced right into a bad guy in comparison to Saddam Hussein The question is valid regardless of the indisputable fact that, all societies could desire to save an open concepts and not be fooled by way of the cult of management. historic previous shows us war is a properly-cherished sport of leaders, The Falklands war replaced into yet another occasion of a frontrunner showing who's the boss. replaced into Margaret Thatcher doing the perfect ingredient or replaced into she a criminal?

Answer 4

I don't believe you should be insulting your leaders or ours . Especially when your comments reveal that you're not completely informed at all .

No, they shouldn't be prosecuted for not committing any crimes .

But you can bet your bottom dollar or pound, that Al Queda prosecutes, persecutes, tortures, and kills innocent civilians as an agenda, a belief that it's right . If you like Al Queda's way of it. . . .. . .. . . check your morals, values, and decency .

Answer 5
