No he isn't a war criminal...[the rest is snipped because it has nothing to do with whether Blair is a war criminal or not]
He clearly is if you apply the principles as laid down by the Nuremburg principles. The greater good served by the war (in Bush and Blair's eyes) is irrelevant here. They fought a war of aggression (absolutely no justification for self-defence from Bush and a pack of lies from Blair) that was not sanctioned by the UN Security Council. In any neutral observer's eyes that is, prima facie, a war crime. The only difference between this and other wars of aggression is that it was masterminded by the world's only remaining superpower and the country in which the UN is based.
Sod it, it wasn't even given legitimacy here by British legal counsel. Senior Crown lawyers resigned and the attorney general was bullied in no uncertain terms into approving British action.
