Tony "Roman Emperor Complex" Blair and the war inquiry

This is fascinating, the whole legal justification of invading and waging war on a sovereign State looks to have been based on a lie.

Blair is absolutely without shame or any ability to discriminate between right and wrong on anything other than  a religious basis.

The British DPP has publicly called him narcissistic.

Hmm let's have a serious look at the act of representation to the British Parliament for the purpose of gaining the legal authority to wage war against Iraq, the knowledge behind Blair's representation that there was no credible threat of WMDs striking Britain or any of their allies, and the legality of his actions..

Basic concepts like Actus reus, mens rea,  scienter and so on might figure prominently in this discussion.
