John Scrivener, Main Arm
I support Andrew Wilkie’s demand for a long overdue inquiry into the decision to join the US-led invasion of Iraq. It’s been ten years since John Howard conspired with Bush and Blair to commit their premeditated act of unlawful aggression against Iraq, and still there is silence on the part of Australian authorities.
There has been no official inquiry, no debate about the legality of our involvement, no reflection, no remorse, no admission of error or blame; it’s as if it never happened, all forgotten, swept under the national rug.
This lamentably exemplifies the appalling hypocrisy and moral paucity of the Australian polity: always eager to accompany our imperial patrons on missions of mass destruction, but not so keen to take responsibility for the consequences.
Surely it’s time we faced up to our part in the commission of crimes against humanity and moved to indict any credibly accused war criminals and their warmongering cohort.
