Mahathir on Blair

On ex-Britain PM Blair's recent trip to Malaysia to talk on Rule of Law, our ex-PM Mahathir cited grievance and disgust on this invitation to whom Mahathir terms a "War Crimes" personality along with GWBushII and John Howard.
And on this, I am in full agreement with our former PM, that Blair along with Bush should be subjects to an independant trial by the War Crimes Commission in the Hague to determine their role and misconduct in attacking Iraq on the pretence of harbouring WMD.
However, I do have some questions to our ex-PM on how he conducted himself during the period of attack as well prior and his communication with these leaders:
1/ TDM, apart from writing some personal letters, and possibly agreeing to one-two referendums made in the UN, why did you not seek any legal injunction at the time to stop any preemptive strikes against Iraq.
2/ TDM, what was your official position against Iraq during their unlawful attack and occupation of Kuwait? Since that occupation, how did your administration responsibly conduct dealings with Iraq and Sadamn?
3/ TDM, dont you have a personal grudge against Blair, Bush & Howard and during your final years of administration, have no direct contact with any of the above? And neither did they with you? (goes to the point that you've never established a relationship where you can constructively criticise them, nor they you)
4/ Personally (and this is my view), you can criticise all you want about this recent visit but I think Blair's invitation to talk about "Rule of Law" is a joke as much as you writing about it. Both of you are hypocrites and selfish and out there to look for your own personal interests.
