To declare a War, there has to be a cause or a belligerent action action by another country against one. Spreading "Freedom and Democracy" is surely no cause for waging a war.
Other countries are not liable to be charged with war crimes since only the UN Security Council could declare Iraq to be in “material breach” of UNSCR 1441. The UN Security Council did not move any resolution to that effect which could be termed as a reason to embark on a war on Iraq.
Therefore, prima facie, the war on Iraq is illegal!
And the war on Iraq was an unilateral decision.
Judgment of war crimes is a subjective issue. Whether there were war crimes or not, it has always historically been the opinion of the victor.
Thus, Bush and Blair have committed no war crimes. Period.
