Justin: I think the fact that 100,000 civilians have died in Iraq (even if it's only half true) puts paid to the idea that "history will judge" either bush or Blair good leaders for invading Iraq, even inspite of their being no WMD.
justin:
Face it - no WMD, twice the number of people killed that Saddam got around to killing, and still there is torture in the prisons!
tim:
Have army, will invade somewhere
justin:
In some twisted way, it would be nice to believe that a UN lead (or mandated) coalition force could go to some far flung trouble spot in the world and use our collected might to stabilise an area in order to create a doorway for peace. It could be argued that is our moral duty. In the case of Iraq, that clearly did not happen.
