By any definition, Mr Blair is a war criminal. End. Of. Story. For a publication like the WSJ to suggest otherwise confirms my worst fears - the mainstream media is little more than an instrument of the elitist powers that seek to rule over us rather than govern on our behalf. - Andrew Terry

Just out of curiosity, is George W. Bush also a war criminal? - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE

You are only a war criminal if you lose the war. - Brian Sullivan

What Brian said. When is war legal? - Kevin J Hatton

That's not the question the Iraq Commission is asking... They're asking if the Iraq war was *illegal*.. - Andrew Terry

Even if the Iraq inquiry finds that the war was indeed illegal, there will not actually be any prosecutions as a result of the ruling. Therefore it begs the question, what the bloody hell is the point of it if there will be no justice? Assuming of course it's not another white wash! - Halil

I don't get how a war can be legal or illegal. - Kenton

If you win, it's legal, if your the loser, then it's illegal... :-/ - Halil
