one of a few reasons, he is clearly culpable, plus the decision to go to war in Iraq rested on him agreeing to it...also, by arresting and charging him it will take out a lynch pin, that hopefully may begin to bring Bush?? and a few more to court..it may help take down some of the evil Cabal.

The case that Tony Blair premeditated the war with Iraq has been made beyond doubt. Even when the British people made clear their misgivings he went about creating false premises for war such as WMD etc Now we have 1 million dead, middle east in fames and mass immigration destroying Europe GUILTY

It is a serious crime. If we let him off, future government officials will continue to do the same; break the law whenever it suits them and to think they are above it. Law is the same for everybody. It is just LAW.

People lost their lives at the hands of this monster, him and Bush and their greed for oil is the reason people lost their family, homes and their lives. Anybody else would have been in Jail a long time ago but because he has money he's still walking about

Tony Blair should be accountable for his actions which led to the death of millions. This is totally unacceptable.

There must be accountability. He lied and he took the country to war on a false premise which killed thousands of people. He must stand trial.

He didn't care about reasons for war he just participated to achieve dominance and interests of his interest group by all means ending up in destruction of one countri, with milions dead and milions dispersed like 1.3 million Christians chased out of their ancestors land.

Taking a country to war based on a manipulation of the facts which resulted in the death over over a million people just to further a geopolitical agenda. People are behind bars for less

there is no doubt that he is guilty of a war of agression , and after he did a good job for his handlers he was given a consultancy at JP Morgan , he deserves to be in prison with his handlers and all of their associates . Charges could be brought if there was a will , and so they should be .

If he gets away with this it will only encourage others to do even worse things. Blair must be tried.

For deliberately invading the sovereign nation Iraq and murdering thousands of civilians knowing full well Iraq did not have WMDs. After that the same process was followed for Libya and now Syria. Using Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists as proxy invasion forces working for US/UK and NATO.

His lies and underhand methods to go to war cost thousands of lives. He needs to be accountable - justice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done.

Taking your nation to war is one of the most serious decisions any political leader will take during their leadership. Tony Blair did so under false pretenses, and this is historical fact. No cheap semantic excuse concocted by Blair changes that. He should be in the Hague now.

It's so obvious that he knew the reasons for the Iraq invasion were lies the same as his buddy GW bush did. Blair and many others including Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld should be tried for war crimes against humanity.
