Where is "Stop The War"?

Well, to begin with, they didn't "Stop the War" and there is a lot to be said for the case that in the 6-going-on-7 years since their role has been to "play mother" to the continuing dissent, dissipating the anger until it reduces to a background noise like a chained-up dog outside a kennel at the foot of the garden.

Their use of the internet remains primitive and superficial and they have repeatedly lead the body of dissent into unimaginative, futile and ineffectual expressions and they have done NOTHING to encourage debate and discussion about newer more effective methods..

The latest "Stop the War" coffee table game is "Ask Blair a Question".
I put it to them in 15 January that "Questioning Blair is by definition a tacit means of letting Blair off the hook" - we already have enough evidence to hang him as at Nuremberg (See attached email). They did not respond.

I followed up on Jan 18 to add that "There is only ONE more question that Blair should be asked: 'How do you plead?'" (See attached email). They did not respond.

When is "Stop The War" going to change its name to "Stop War" and begin the debate about how to overcome the "Iraq Inquiry" and pursue the action of having Blair prosecuted and if at all possible hanged for war crimes as the only effective means to putting an end to this fraudulent pretence to civilised society?
