The narrative the overwhelming majority of Americans accept is "well the Bush Admin had bad intel, oh well whoopsie-daisy". Which conveniently absolves everyone - from the president on down to regular citizens - from any responsibility for the deaths of upwards of a million men, women, and children.

I mean, we all know Bush lied about it. But the fact that no one else even wants to interrogate that narrative is proof that this is truly a bad country. We're really just gonna let someone get away with the murdering hundreds of thousands of people, huh? Even if Bush was by some miracle duped, that is still criminal negligence and he should still spend the rest of his days rotting in the Hague. But nope, all is forgiven because he gave Michelle Obama some candy and he said some vague, extremely soft criticisms of Trump.

I think Americans do have some collective guilt over supporting the invasion. Now, I could maybe give some credit to Americans if they were prosecuting war criminal charges on Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, et al. But nope, not even a hint of holding them accountable. They're all going to eventually die in wealth and comfort. Meanwhile the Iraqis who died and their families will never have that peace.

TL; DR death to America

    Bush and Blair have the blood of millions on their hands. While the bloodlust for war wasn't as towering as the US, Blair pushed that shit no end resulting in vomit-inducing flag waving from the press and casual violence against anyone from the Middle East and even folk from India and Pakistan because people are thick as fucking shit.

    Standing in parliament and lying about Iraq's 'superguns' and potential biological and chemical threats to the UK like Iraq had suddenly swapped places with France. With the rest of his fucking gang of government monsters shifting uncomfortably in their seats because they knew every single fucking word was a fucking lie.

    The fact that Blair weaseled out of politics and has made millions off the back of misery he was complicit in speaks volumes about what a fucking demon he really is. Converting to Catholcism was the final insult to those who died, allowing him to simply pray the guilt away.

    I hope when he dies he suffers for it, no-one should shed any tears for him.

    Fucking bastard.
