The People of Iraq Salute You, A vote for New Labour is a vote for war Options

[ItsTheWar]

The people of Iraq must be really glad that you are all opposed to the Tories.

Voting for New Labour is voting for war. Where next ? Iran most likely, maybe Syria.

Blair, Straw, Hoon, Goldsmith et al are war criminals - they should be punished.

Vote Lib Dem - nationally, you aint gonna get the Tories whatever you do.

Blair, Bush, Hoon, etc. are war criminals because :
i) they ignored the rule of international law
ii) they went to war

To explain the reference to international law, check with Kofi Annan, the Attorney General (prior to the Americans "getting him there") or most legal opinion.

Any comparison with A Hitler, P Pot or S Hussein doesn't alter the fact that they went to war without a legal justification.

oh dear oh dear oh dear. How are Blair, Straw, Hoon and Goldsmith possibly war criminals? To be frank, it's just making a mockery of the victims of real war criminals. The people of Kosovo (liberated the Blair, Straw et al) and countless others. The people of Iraq voted in their first democratic elections for 60 years despite threats of death - quite honestly, its little more than ignorance. There are genuine arguments against the war - and questions certainly must be asked about certain aspects of what was done - but to call Blair a war criminal is ridiculous.

If the Lib Dems or certain parts of the Labour backbenches were in power, Saddam Hussein would still be brutally murdering his own people - is that what you want?
