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.

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 .

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.

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.

Just like smoking and drinking age is 18, as should be the voting age. 16 yr olds are still too much under their parents' authority and would probably just vote however their parents tell them.

Trump has called Democrats “scum,” “vermin,” “animals” and “enemies of the people.” When U.S. Rep. Pelosi’s 82-year-old husband was bludgeoned with a hammer by a deranged man, Trump joked about it.
