Almost as if Tony Blair actually made all the decisions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He made the decision for this country to join in..that's more than enough for the Brit soldiers who never came home
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He didn't make the decision, he has numerous advisors surrounding him and no decision will ever be his alone.

What?

An advisor advises. Regardless of how many people are involved in the debate, only one person ultimately makes a decision. That's what being the boss is all about.

Anyway even if he did delegate the decision of sending the country to war to Bob from marketing - he is ultimately responsible for that decision.

Have you read the emails he sent to Bush? Blair was (confidentially) making the case for war as far back as 2001.

To be honest I kind of liked him (on a human level) as he seemed to be less 'drone' like compared to other politicians. He also was instrumental in securing the Good Friday Agreement here in NI.

But he has blood on his hands in regard to Iraq and that is what he will be remembered for.

I think you have the wrong idea about these leaders.

Figureheads for a dysfunctional government is all they are.

Not defending him incidently, he has to carry the weight of those decisions, i just find it amusing that some think he just sits there barking orders and everybody does as they are told.

The whole Gulf war thing is a shambles from top to bottom.

" i just find it amusing that some think he just sits there barking orders and everybody does as they are told."

Pretty sure no-one thinks that.

The law itself is never sufficient. Blair needs to get punished and I don't care how that's done and if the law won't do it, then another means is needed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So following the calls by a part of society that democracy should be scrapped for the Bexit vote, we now have a call for justice to scrapped so vigilantes can dish out some punishment based on someone who has no idea of what was said in private meetings and cannot possibly have read the whole 2.6 million word document published today just because he says so.

Grow up and try to engage your brain before deciding you are judge and jury without even knowing all of the evidence.

P.s. I think Blair should be ac ountable but by the proper channels.

Hmmm, seems a bit of a stretch, the three you mention intentionally killed thousands upon thousand of innocents for one reason and one reason only, they were tyrants.

Blair made a mistake but lets not pretend he was rubbing his hands with glee at the thought of executing thousands of innocents, his motives were a crazy fear to protect the western world.

Sooo....Saddam, etc. killed "just for sh-ts and giggles"? But Blair did it because he's a responsible adult trying to civilise the world?

Good. Thank god we're on the right side.

Thank god we are on the right side indeed.

Give me this life rather than the 'lets gas a region' or 'quash freedom of speech by brutality' nation.

Its a pointless conversation whilst some pretend Iraq was a poor innocent victim in all of this.

As for ISIS, they spend more time blowing up their own people than Westerners, that's how driven they are by Western hate.

The people were poor innocent victims...there is no denying Saddam was an evilbastard who needed removing...
But it's the way it was done and for what actual reason is the real question...when you look at the country we left behind.

Bollux, we did the right thing, we stamped iraq out before it became an issue.

We then ignored doing the same with syria due to the iraq/Afghanistan backlashes and now as a result of reluctance to act / hesitation we now have ISIS.

Being ignorant is bad thing. Combining that with arrogance is just outrageous.

You're a fool.

No doubt at all that we couldn't go into syria thanks to our previous errors and the backlash from that.

Messi should have moved to the Prem. In England even the Prime Minister benefits from offshore tax havens.
