    Remarkable just how wrong one can be in only two sentences.

    It hinges on the crime of Aggression. A war may legally be started for various reasons including self-defence and UN Security Council resolution.

    Don't want to derail this bulltulip thread with more bull tulip but why would Sweden offer a guarantee against a hypothetical scenario as the US has never issued a warrant for his arrest.

    As for Bush/Blair trial it will never happen, there just isn't the political will from a "big country" for anyone to take notice, no US President or British PM will ever push the agenda as it would open up themselves at a later date for similar actions

    War criminal is a bit strong. He chopped his own finger off and that should be punishment enough.

    How do you know? Sweden hasn't had the chance to try him yet.
