questionmark Posted September 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2012 LONDON (AP) — The Nobel laureate Desmond M. Tutu called Sunday for former President George W. Bush and former Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain to face prosecution at the International Criminal Court for their role in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Archbishop Tutu, the Anglican archbishop emeritus of Cape Town, wrote in the British newspaper The Observer that the two former leaders should be made to “answer for their actions.” The Iraq war “has destabilized and polarized the world to a greater extent than any other conflict in history,” wrote Archbishop Tutu. “Those responsible for this suffering and loss of life should be treading the same path as some of their African and Asian peers who have been made to answer for their actions in The Hague,” he added.

Hasina Posted September 5, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Only if he's exhibited good behavior, and being dead, he kinda has. Nah, this is a silly idea. Let's try any head of state and their government if they go to war, much more rational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyche101 Posted September 6, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Fine, if he loses the court case, he should be liable for the costs. I really do not see how this war has polarised and de-stabled the globe more than WWII. I personally think the Rev is getting a little carried away here.
