I'm just not sure in my own mind

that the major issues around the Iraq war which have vexed people so actually justify the anger.

Playing devil's advocate - we killed Argentinians who simply wanted some land back. No calls for crucifixion then. Saddam was *slightly* more malevolent and he needed to be stopped. Is that not undeniable?

So if the main problem is with the legality, does that justify such an extreme view of Blair's motives? You really would have him crucified?

Believe me - I'm just interested. I do not have a black and white view on this.
