Chilcot Report - Only severe perpetual reparations by US-UK serve justice

Chilcot report is an eyewash in which the entire blame of an error of judgement or malice is pinned on an individual. Whether Bush-Blair acted in good faith or based on malice, the fact is that they had the support of respective representative bodies, armed forces, and opinion-makers of their countries. That was not an act of a few individuals but of two states. And reports like Chilcot pin blame on individuals and absolve the states of any responsibility of the mess they create, taking focus from their cutting and running. An error of judgment or malice, the blame rests not with individuals but with US and UK and only severe perpetual reparations along with bringing the culprits serves justice. Else, it will be very easy for states around the world to create mess, find 2-3 scapegoats and cut and run.
