Re: Protestor hijacks Leverson inquiry, calls Tony Blair a 'war criminal'I'm so bored of this war criminal stuff for Blair and Bush. It's never going to amount to anything.
I would be so much more impressed if the protester had burst in screaming "BLAIR, YOU FED THE CHILDREN SYPHILIS BLAAAAAAIR"
Equally as likely to get Blair prosecuted over that (i.e. there's no chance whatsoever) and it's a lot more memorable. -

Re: Protestor hijacks Leverson inquiry, calls Tony Blair a 'war criminal'How is Blair a War Criminal?
Wars happen all the time, does that mean that every leader who goes to war is a criminal? Plus, Coalition Forces in Iraq only a killed a fraction of the total number of civilian deaths, most were from the ensuing Civil War. -

Re: Protestor hijacks Leverson inquiry, calls Tony Blair a 'war criminal'Fair enough, there is that argument.(Original post by TCD23)

But can you not also say that Blair and Bush successfully ousted an evil dictator and installed democracy into Iraq? -

Re: Protestor hijacks Leverson inquiry, calls Tony Blair a 'war criminal'No they didn't because they ousted a dictator allowing for the taliban/al-quada to gain a foothold there.(Original post by Cannotbelieveit)

And no I can't because WAR IS THE BIGGEST EVIL, under no circumstances should War ever be instigated unless absolutely necessary to the survival of the planet. Sadam had nothing to do with us and we shouldn't have gone over. End of. -

Re: Protestor hijacks Leverson inquiry, calls Tony Blair a 'war criminal'So with that statement I'm assuming you think that Britain and France should not have gone to war with Germany in 1939?(Original post by TCD23)

Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, I believe that war is necessary in some cases. -

Re: Protestor hijacks Leverson inquiry, calls Tony Blair a 'war criminal'Hm, let me think? Hitler tried to invade Europe. Hussein was sitting at home doing **** all. Nowhere near the same thing. War was justified in that one case, and should never be again unless it is absolutely necessary.(Original post by Cannotbelieveit)

The only people with any right to believe that war can be justified are those who have served on the frontline. -

Re: Protestor hijacks Leverson inquiry, calls Tony Blair a 'war criminal'Well almost all the deaths there were thanks to Islamists and sectarian violence. Plus less people died than died on average per year under Saddam. Food for thought when you try and blame Blair for all the problems caused by Islam and a despot dictator really.

You are supposed to say "A very small minority of people who claim to be followers of Islam but due to their actions are not deemed to be true Muslims"
