Beyond belief!

I was not really going to seriously pursue the topic of my previous entry, meaning 2003 invasion of Iraq and its consequences, until I bumped into this, shocking beyond belief:

Iraqi citizen murders servicemen suspects

The shocking matter here is not so much war crimes committed by British soldiers, that happens in every war, but complete lack of prosecution. Britain seems to be a country of relatively high judicial standards and yet there's so much negligence and ill will there.

To sum it up somehow, it is obvious that it doesn't really matter who starts a war or is a war criminal but only is who is the winner. Victors write history, losers are sent to the gallows.

Bliar's book signing

I was deeply sorry to hear that that champion of democracy and peace could have his book signing event disrupted by protesters. What a shame for all of them! Isn't Iraq after the war a more citizen-friendly, more democratic, and on top of that a safer place? And surely, there are no weapons of mass destruction there now and we don't have Colin Powell running around the UN Security Council building in New York with a vial of anthrax.

Seriously though, imho 2003 invasion of Iraq was 100% illegal war of aggression and those responsible should be put on trial and punish accordingly. Not rewarded with generous publishing royalties, that's for sure.
