[kj] The war criminal Blair ?

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Tony Blair IS a war criminal. I am with Jaz on this one. (So are Bush, 
Cheney, Rumsfed, et.al, by the way.)

That isn't irrational, emotional hyperbole. It's a juridical fact.

The Nuremberg Principles, established by the US and its allies (England, 
etc.) laid out clearly what constitutes a war crime.

For ex.:

Principle I. Any person who commits an act which constitutes a crime 
under international law is responsible therefore and liable to punishment.

Principle II. The fact that internal law does not impose a penalty for 
an act which constitutes a crime under international law does not 
relieve the person who committed the act from responsibility under 
international law.

Principle III. The fact that a person who committed an act which 
constitutes a crime under international law acted as Head of State or 
responsible government official does not relieve him from responsibility 
under international law.

The invasion of subsequent horror show in Iraq violated several UN laws. 
The UN is a treaty of the U.S. and UK and is is int'l law - or , at 
least, it is suppoosed to be regarded as such Not just invoked when 
convenient by war hawks in first world countries.

We could Nuremberg Principles selectively, sat, only to Japan and 
Germany ca. 1945 - but God forbid they actually apply to our heads of 
state as well! Blair, Bush, Cheney, and their enablers are all war 
criminals.
