Bag's Rants

If only this had a chance of bringing justice.

It appears that the High Court has overturned a decision that stopped a full public inquiry into why the UK entered the Iraqi conflict with the US. Read more here. A good decision by people our government wants to put on a leash.

Unfortunately, by the time this goes through and the results come out it will be more of a case of 'We made a mistake and with hindsight we could have done better. No one to blame and no evidence of any pressure being brought to bear on the run up to war. However, here are a few changes that would ensure that mistakes like this don't happen again.' My emphasis. Then Tony will make a speech about 'Hindsight and changes need to be made and how he supports these changes'. B4$^&rd.

Blair will be long gone and does anybody really thing anything will happen to him? Everyone will talk about how it will never happen again and how our democracy has been perverted by the will of one man. On the plus side he did not go into bat with someone that would whup our asses unlike other charismatic leaders in the past. Is that a sign of a common bully?

So little chance of justice. Blair will not have his speaking career shortened by a visit to the Hague. Not until he meets an Iraqi with a long gun and a grudge. Hopefully though the enquiry will force a change to stop this happening again. Best we can hope for.
