[Craig Murray] Craig Murray - A Politician Should Not Rule on the Legality of War: No, to preserve our honour, protect our people and put us somewhere back on the path of decency, Blair must take responsibility and that means recognising publicly that he was wrong in committing his country to a 'war' that unlike the Falklands was based on lies and the pretence that a man gone bad could be removed by what can only be described as genocide, a massacre and the obliteration of a ancient established civilisation.
