'Who's running the show and getting cheap oil?'

The Chinese?

Have you seen the price of a barrel of oil now compared to 2002?

And for all that they had to lie to justify the real aim, therefore it's illegal. the reasons for war were a fabrication and the country, parliament and Queen herself were sold a lie.


Q. Who made the final decision to go to war based on lies ?

A. The Queen

Q. Is the Queen going to summons herself for war crimes ?

A. Is she **** as like you stupid *****.
No, not illegal for Afghanistan as pointed out in my earlier post. Lying about the real aim is not necessarily illegal either

Also, you might want to get a slightly firmer grasp on the way the British political and legal system operate - for starters, the Queen can't be placed on trial for war crimes, since it'd be Regina versus Regina, which is a constitutional impossibility (and before you say it, while we don't have a written constitution, there is one there, based on custom, precedent and statute).

Second, the Royal Prerogative is exercised by the government on HMQ's behalf, which means that it'd be members of that body, most likely the PM, who would be placed on trial should that eventuality arise. Also, HMQ did not formally declare war (that's done with the Lord Chamberlain reading out a proclamation on the Sovereign's behalf, as per September 1939).
