Political accountability

The British are currently undergoing a soul searching and are demanding accountability from the Blairistas.
Unlike his predecessor, the late and much missed Robin Cook, who resigned from cabinet in protest against the illegal and brutal invasion of Iraq, the current Foreign Secretary Jack Straw still vociferously defends the actions of the blairistas and claims the London bombings have nothing to do with the atrocities being committed daily against the Iraqi people.
Have the citizens of Blairistan been served properly by having a yes-man like Straw blindly follow his master into Iraq, despite his alleged reported misgivings as stated by the now famous Downing Street memos?
Is simple removal from office sufficient punishment enough for the death and destruction wreaked on an innocent public in Iraq?
