Encouraging that a proper dossier has been put forward, though I suspect that Bush, Blair et al. will be long gone by the time the bourgeois legal system finds them guilty of the war crimes they committed.

Bush and Blair will never be found guilty of war crimes, there are too many people between them and the events who can be offered up as sacrifice. It would take a revolution to deliver that verdict.

Still, the evidence in the dossier is useful for combating all those infantile arguments about British soldiers being somehow different to the 'bad guys', an argument that we encounter day after day in the streets and in the media. We were the bad guys, you fools!

Bush actually was found guilty:

The problem is that Bush won't be in prison in the USA and Blair in the UK until neoliberal capitalism rules there.
