Only to be dreamt about, probably. But a site has been set up for donations to reward anyone making a citizen's arrest. Wouldn't you just love to see it happen.

Just google for it.

sorry for my previous post, I thought this was about Lionel Blair

It looks like the Establishment has been busy. Paypal has blocked payments when the site was just short of £10000.

You could well be right. But can you suggest a better way of making politicians accountable? If he has to spend the rest of his life anxious that he could suffer embarrassment when he goes to Church or from a member of the audience at one of his speeches, then it's worth making the attempt. And it might stop Iran suffering the same fate - it's being softened up by the gullible media.

Blair doesn't have a beard or a head-dress. He dresses smartly and is speaks plausibly. But he set in motion a series of events that resulted in around a million deaths and millions of refugees. He regards Iraqis' lives as unimportant, not worth considering. There can't be many Iraqi families that haven't faced suffering - and all because we wanted to control Iraqi oil and make sure it didn't go elsewhere.

Irrelevant.

You can justify invading anywhere on the basis that someone in it is suffering.

you dont have to justify it this countrys attourney general has repeated again the war was lawful

I see. So why is this inquiry happening then?

Best just to ask the politically partial A-G what he thinks about a range of issues, saving time on courts, juries, all sorts of things.

Great idea.

Do you mean the 1.5 million (estimate by former US Attorney General) who died as a result of sanctions imposed when Saddam stopped doing what we wanted?

Or the ones Saddam killed a hundred time more numerously thanks to materiel provided by the West (including those who rose up against him at Bush I's instigation?

The internal affairs of Iraq should be up to the people to sort out. The Iranian people toppled a far more powerful tyrant in the Shah (and one still supported by the West).

a lot of Iraquis were better off under saddam, mainly the women. They were knocked into the stone age where criminals run the show and religion is taking power.

A citizen's arrest would be pointless, I'm afraid, and an investigation by the ICC can only be started under limited circumstances. You could make a complaint to the Pre-trial chamber asking the prosecutor to start an investigation. Alas, this route has already been well trodden and the prosecutor has announced himself unable to proceed.
