LONDON - Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu called Sunday for Tony Blair and George Bush to face prosecution at the International Criminal Court for their role in the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq

Tutu, the retired Anglican Church's archbishop of South Africa, wrote in an op-ed piece for The Observer newspaper that the ex-leaders of Britain and the United States should be made to "answer for their actions."

The Iraq war "has destabilized and polarized the world to a greater extent than any other conflict in history," wrote Tutu, who was awarded the Nobel prize in 1984.

"Those responsible for this suffering and loss of life should be treading the same path as some of their African and Asian peers who have been made to answer for their actions in the Hague," he added.

Tutu is nothing but a despicable little prick.

Sorry, it’s one thing to deride an institution, it’s a whole nother deal to brushstroke individuals. I have issues w/ the organization that is the Catholic church, but I would NEVER take it out on the individual who is Catholic.

It's the "individuals" that make up the organization. If they SUPPORT an Institution that you do not believe in, then they represent that Institution. If they do not agree with it, then they should bail out LIKE I DID.

The Jews, who can figure them out? They live like Episcopalians and vote like Puerto Ricans.
