MP brands Blair war criminal

[Carl Remick]

[I hope the sentiments expressed by Labour MP Tam Dalyell (below) prove 
widely influential.  Clearly US/UK imperialism would not have reached its 
current advanced state of malignancy without the unctuous Rt. Rev. Tony 
Blair providing a moral gloss for every exercise of allied armed might going 
back to Kosovo.  Blair well deserves the fate of earlier religious fanatic 
Oliver Cromwell, whose head was displayed on a pole at Westminster Hall for 
over 20 years.]

Blair, the war criminal

Tam Dalyell

My constituency Labour party has just voted to recommend that Tony Blair 
reconsider his position as party leader because he gave British backing to a 
war against Iraq without clearly expressed support from the UN.

I agree with this motion. I also believe that since Mr Blair is going ahead 
with his support for a US attack without unambiguous UN authorisation, he 
should be branded as a war criminal and sent to The Hague.

... many in this country think the fundamentalists now running the White 
House are using Blair's support as a fig leaf against their critics. It is 
useful for these people to say to their opponents: "But a British Labour 
prime minister supports us."

If Britain had made it clear months ago that we would not be party to a US 
attack on Iraq, US public opinion itself might have stopped this war. ...
