Trust Tony?

There was an interesting piece in The Times today about Tony Blair’s attitude before the invasion of Iraq and his relationship with George Bush, none of it is reassuring about the forcefulness of our Prime Minister or the integrity of either him or the US President. We were bounced into (see here) invading and occupying a country illegally. As a result, our troops are in the middle of a burgeoning civil war and, at home, we are a much bigger target for terrorism, all because Tony Blair couldn’t stand up for himself. I can only hope that, despite everything, we are able to extricate our troops from this mess safely, and without leaving a bloodbath behind to further destabilise an already volatile region.
