poliphiloVarious has-been British politicians are calling for Putin to be had up before a Nuremburg style tribunal.
Setting aside the practicalities (because do you think sending a summons to the Kremlin will be enough?) I'm all for it.
It's time to get tough on war and the causers of war.
But let's not stop at Putin. Consistency demands that we also summons all the other heads of state and former heads of state who have done exactly what Putin has done- and invaded or bombed someone else's country. I'd start with George Bush and Tony Blair (they're still around, God love 'em) but there are many many others.
If they bring all their hot shot lawyers with them you're going to need a very big courtroom.
The Hollywood Bowl, maybe- or Wembley Stadium- or maybe that Olympic Bird's Nest thing they have in China...
