I can't really disagree with this

This bit - 'The Iraq military campaign had made the world more unstable "than any other conflict in history", he said' I strongly agree with.

And this - 'Archbishop Tutu said the death toll as a result of military action in Iraq since 2003 was grounds for Mr Blair and Mr Bush to be tried in The Hague.

But he said different standards appeared to be applied to Western leaders.

He said: "On these grounds, alone, in a consistent world, those responsible should be treading the same path as some of their African and Asian peers who have been made to answer for their actions in The Hague."

Blair's response - 'He said: "To repeat the old canard that we lied about the intelligence [on weapons of mass destruction] is completely wrong as every single independent analysis of the evidence has shown.'

If they didn't lie, where the fuck are the WMDs then? Even now, all these years later, nothing, not a tiny shred of evidence.

I don't know how Blair can sleep at night.

I've always wondered why they havent been put on trial before to be honest. Tutu is a bit of a scary man, but can't help but agree with him over this.
