Stephen Pollard gives Charles Kennedy the proper political shoeing that his policy of declaring the War on Iraq “Illegal” invites.
If Mr Kennedy believes that the war was illegal and thus brought about an illegal regime change, then he also believes – it is not logically possible to believe anything else - that Saddam remains the rightful ruler of Iraq. He was, after all, deposed only by an illegal force. And if he believes, as he claims, in the primacy of international law, then he and those who espouse the same argument have no alternative but to campaign for Saddam’s immediate re-instatement as the internationally recognised head of state of Iraq.
Just following the argument through to some of its natural conclusions.
Later
