    Default General Rose says impeach Bliar.

    Prime Minister Tony Blair should be "impeached" over the war in Iraq, a former top British soldier has said.

    The ex-UN commander in Bosnia General Sir Michael Rose said Mr Blair had to take responsibility for his actions.

    Bliar should indeed suffer the consequences of his actions. If you take the 'top' job then you take the responsibility.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    I didn't know you guys had an impeachment procedure. Has it ever been used before?
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Try this for an historical overview:

    It reminds me a little of the use and development of the Roman charge of maiestas.

    Not unless you count Charles I...not too sure we would want to follow that precedent.

    Edit: so according to the link above we do still have impeacment, well you learn something new every day...

    And the PM is not head of state so he has no sovereign immunity and is subject to the ordinary criminal law, including the jurisdiction of the ICC.

    Read the article above. Impeachment is an English procedure going back to the 14th century. In the old days it could end with one's head in a basket!
