'Your lies killed my son...' Blair fails to pacify critics in torrid inquiry session

[Ms Tree]

In emotional scenes at the Chilcot inquiry, the former Prime Minister was heckled as he said he regretted "deeply and profoundly the loss of life". Calls of "Too late" broke out as Mr Blair spoke, with one woman turning her back on him. Two others left. Rose Gentle, whose son, Gordon, was killed in Basra in 2004, shouted as Mr Blair left the hearing: "Your lies killed my son. I hope you can live with it."

John Brown, whose son Nicholas Brown, 34, an SAS sergeant, died north of Baghdad in 2008, said he had sat through Mr Blair's evidence in disgust. "It resembled someone like Al Capone or John Gotti giving evidence in court when he knows he has bought off the judge and jury. I nearly threw up. It made everyone in there nearly sick because the man has got no regrets at all," he said. "In my view, the only way they are going to nail this guy is in a court of law, being examined by serious barristers. This inquiry is not being rigorous enough. Every time they get him on the hook, they then back off."

Peter Brierley, whose son Shaun, 28, was killed in 2003, added: "To be human, he must have some regrets. I would love to paint him as some sort of monster but he is still a human being and it must affect him. He did look worried and under pressure so it must be taking its toll, not that I regret that. It is no more than he deserves."

OK, I'll bite. What does not believing in god have to do with this issue?

BTW exactly which god are we talking about. After all there arw quite a few.

I do not understand why one needs a god in order for life to have value. I live for the here and now. Why be worried about what happens after you are dead. I feel I lead a good and productive life. I help those around me when needed. I am not worried about god judging me. I know I have done good. That is all that counts in my belief.

Everything in your post is up for discussion or you wouldn't post it..................correct?

How is life everything without God?

If you don't want to discuss it, then don't post it in your sig......................I'd be more than happy to explain "Heil Obama" !

I am not concerned with an after life. I do not believe in a god(s). So with a god to believe in the life I have now is all there is. This life is everything.

I still do not se the link between my beliefs and the original topic.

And the afterlife is to be a rotted corpse in the ground - food for maggots. Thats a heck of a belief system there puddy! 😱
