Ewan McGregor blasts Gorge W Bush and Tony Blair

London: Scottish actor Ewan McGregor has slammed former US President George W Bush and former British PM Tony Blair over the wars fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. The `Trainspotting` star is furious that Bush has not been called to account for his decision to invade the two countries and is dismayed Blair never apologised for UK`s involvement in the controversial conflict, Daily Express reported.
"My thing about politicians is that ultimately they`re never really accountable for what they do. I think that`s awful. No one goes, `Wait a minute, Tony - before you go, don`t you think we have a right to know about this and this?` People are dead, there`s blood on the streets, and is anyone accountable? I was pleased that Blair had to sit down and answer for his decisions. And saddened that Bush never will," McGregor said. "Bush has retired to the golf course. I cannot stomach that. It`s not right. Blair hasn`t said sorry or, by all accounts, made any comment to the kids who lost their arms and legs and eyes. Probably thousands of kids - and he hasn`t visited them. I don`t know how you live with yourself, really," he added. PTI
