Tony Blair's 'Moral Case' for War: Immunity for War Crimes?
Al Jazeera reveals government files suggesting former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair pressured officials to prevent British soldiers, accused of killing an Iraqi civilian, from facing civil trials. The 2003 invasion, which Blair championed with George W. Bush citing dubious 'weapons of mass destruction,' led to widespread death and destabilization. This alleged interference isn't just about one
trial; it's about the systemic protection of those executing a war whose illegality and human cost continue to haunt us. How many 'moral cases' for war end with calls for judicial exceptions for those who actually committed the atrocities? It seems the architects of conflict prefer their foot soldiers to be cannon fodder, not courtroom defendants.
