Should Bush and Blair be tried for war crimes?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

The US started an illegal premptive war against a country that had nothing to do with Islamic terrorism? How are they not the bad guys?

Bush and Blair planned an aggressive preemtive war and there's endless evidence to show this. Back in 1948 planning aggressive wars was described by the head American prosecutor at Nuremburg as the worst of all war crimes, the kingpin that allowed all the other Nazi war crimes to happen. Bearing this in mind, shouldn't B and B be prosecuted for planning a war of aggression?

In 2001 you got attacked by people from countries where for decades you've been propping up tyrants, despots and dictators who've kept their people under horrible repressive conditions. Don't you think that after decades of keeping these guys in power, continuing to keep those guys in power and thus dooming hundreds of millions of people to live under endless repression, that it's understandable if some of those people might occasionally take their anger about it out on your office buildings?

The US started illegal preemtive wars with Vietnam and Spain but nothing happened to those leaders.

We propped up Saddam we had every right to take him out

Lyle, that's just stupid to a new level of stupid.

Who put him in power Missy? If you can put people in power you should be able to take them out, it's only fair. And it's not OUR fault every single person we put in power turns into a power drunk lunatic.

You guys should really be blaming England for all of this anyway, you guys got us involved over there to begin with.

1) the US never put Saddam in power. REad about his history, he raised by himself, you just made tons of negociation with him and sold him dirty dirty stuff.

2) the US aren't God. Even if you put a dictator in place to serve your interests (which is highly illegal by the way) doesn't mean you have any copyright over his reign and to decide how you can make it stop (which is once again very illegal).

3) we're not talking every other unfair wars where the peoples should be trialed just the same Lyle, it doesn't apply only to the B&B international carnage inc but we were, in the present case, discussing more specifically their case.
