The fourth or is it the fifth enquiry on the causes of the Iraq war has just begun in London and already witnesses are testifying that there was absolutely no evidence that Saddam Hussein had any weapon of mass destruction. In fact all intelligence was indicating that Iraq had dismantled any chemical weapons it possessed and had not developed any biological or nuclear weapons at all. This was exactly what the UN weapons inspector, Mr. Hans Blix was shouting from the rooftops. Also there was absolutely no contact between Saddam and the Al Qaeda. Unfortunately the gun toting triumvirate of George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld had decided to kill Saddam and excuses were for wimps. The British prime minister, Tony Blair decided to follow suit creating an almighty mess in the entire middle east. The US is not a signatory to the International Criminal Court but Britain is. This is the time when relatives of dead Iraqis should file for an arrest warrant for Tony Blair at the ICC like the one issued for Omar Bashir of Sudan. In the US families of dead soldiers could file a class action suit for compensation against Bush and his henchmen much like the one that got O.J. Simpson. Justice may still be done.
