Greek lawyers to sue Blair for war crimes

Please let me reiterate my enthusiastic willingness to volunteer for firing squad duty should the ICC so determine.

The Athens Bar Association has announced it will file a suit against British Prime Minister Tony Blair for “crimes against humanity and war crimes” for his role in the Iraq war. Association President Dimitris Paxinos told the press the organisation was also considering launching an action against Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, who also backed the invasion of Iraq.

Paxinos said the suit would be filed within a fortnight before the recently inaugurated International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague. The association felt an “ethical and juristic responsibility” to seek action from the ICC, Paxinos added.

Ninety countries have ratified the Rome Statute of the ICC adopted in July 1998, establishing the jurisdiction of the court to deal with what are considered the gravest international crimes including genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Since the US is not a signatory to the ICC, no American officials can be prosecuted.

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Comments are welcome, but before you waste perfectly useful energy abusing me please take a moment to reflect on the basic right we all have to express ourselves!

Please remember that I am not telling you what to think or believe, take everything you read here with a large grain of salt!

So there, we have figured it out, go back to bed America, your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed America, your government is in control again.

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war... In the next few years, we are either going to see the people of the free world rise up against these fascists, now setting the stage for global war, or we are going to see the end of democracy as we know it with martial law the end result.
