The
Nobel Prize in Literature 2005 is awarded to the English writer Harold
Pinter >>
>>The invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state
terrorism, demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international
law. The invasion was an arbitrary military action inspired by a series
of lies upon lies and gross manipulation of the media and therefore of
the public; an act intended to consolidate American military and economic
control of the Middle East masquerading – as a last resort –
all other justifications having failed to justify themselves – as
liberation. A formidable assertion of military force responsible for the
death and mutilation of thousands and thousands of innocent people.
We have brought torture, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, innumerable acts of random murder, misery, degradation and death to the Iraqi people and call it ‘bringing freedom and democracy to the Middle East’.
How many people do you have to kill before you qualify to be described as a mass murderer and a war criminal? One hundred thousand? More than enough, I would have thought. Therefore it is just that Bush and Blair be arraigned before the International Criminal Court of Justice. But Bush has been clever. He has not ratified the International Criminal Court of Justice. Therefore if any American soldier or for that matter politician finds himself in the dock Bush has warned that he will send in the marines. But Tony Blair has ratified the Court and is therefore available for prosecution. We can let the Court have his address if they’re interested. It is Number 10, Downing Street, London.<<
