“I
think most people who have dealt with me, think I’m a pretty
straight sort of guy, and I am.” (Tony
Blair,
BBC “On the Record”, 16th November 1997.)
On
15th September
2004, the then UN Secretary General, Kofi
Annan,
in an interview with the BBC World Service, asked if the invasion was
illegal, stated:
“Yes,
if you wish.” He continued without caveat: “I have indicated it
was not in conformity with the UN Charter. From our point of view and
from the Charter point of view it was illegal.”
Blair,
his Foreign Secretary, Jack
Straw and
his Attorney
General Lord Goldsmith did
not face a Nuremberg type trial – and surreally, Blair, after his
2007 resignation was appointed Middle East Peace Envoy. Straw and
Goldsmith went back to business as usual.
However,
after fourteen years, maybe two million deaths, the decimation by
ISIS, the US, and the UK of Iraq’s (Mesopotamia’s) history,
culture stewardship and witness, over millennia, to one of the
world’s great, ancient civilizations, there is a chance that Antony
Charles Lynton Blair,
Jack Straw and Lord Goldsmith may yet face a Court of Law.
