Fields of Battle

Faced with the undeniable and now unavoidable truth of the criminality of the Bush, Blair and Howard governments, what do you suppose are the consequences for these men? People are fined for parking and littering offences but murder and plunder on an international scale incurs no penalty it would seem. [The ICC is a puppet court, an institution with zero credibility.] Is the lack of legal and public response surprising? Advice from leading consultants and ‘people managers’ was/is unanimous; once a decision is acted upon by a government and a nation is committed to a particular course, the people are swept along regardless of compromising evidence released during or after the event.

War Criminals were hung at Nuremberg, and the same should still apply

What is so very amazing is that most people, including the majority of people that read this site, never think that justice should extend to the horrific crimes commited by Blair, and his ilk. So brainwashed are they, that they honestly believe that being voted out of power, and subject to years of moneymaking on the biog/diary/lecture circuit, with a big fat pension, is the harshest punishment they deserve.

The anti-war movement should include recruitment of volunteer hangmen (and women). People whose names will enter a raffle for the job of hanging Blair by his neck until he is dead, following his conviction for genocide, crimes against humanity, and warcrimes. People could then wear a badge indicating that they await the day when they may be called to service in ending the life of the most depraved and murderous criminal these islands have produced.

However, magically, the 'official' anti-war movement will continue with the suggestion that you can be against war, and yet NOT seek punishment of any of those responsible for waging it. Funny that. Anti-any-other-serious-crime, and of course the idea is to have a punishment that fits. But the anti-war movement can daily watch the worst crimes that humans can do to each other, and yet suggest that the only sacred life on the Earth belongs to Blair. Blair knows that his ONLY enemy is the one prepared to try him, convict him, and hang him. Anything else, and that person is actually an ally, wittingly or unwittingly.
