History will show some truly despicable Prime Ministers but Mr Blair is, in my opinion, right up at the top of the pile. A real slime-ball, smug face, arrogant piece of shite that should be in jail.
When I think of all those brave men and women who gave their lives and those poor parents who have lost their loved ones while that thing lives in a life of luxury with a fortune of close on £100million. | | | |

you forgot the hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians who also also paid the ultimate price.
some estimates reach as high as 200,000 dead.
sickening.
he and bush should really go to jail.
but jail is (generally) only for poor people with no influence or friends. |  |

Probably more since instability in Iraq has at the very least exacerbated the Syrian civil war.
Worth remembering that it wasn't just Blair. The question was put to Parliament and 412 MPS voted for the invasion. |  |

The fact is that parliament and the public were continually told lies and false information that Blair knew was not true.
Some MP believed him, with a moral compass.
Many simply knew better but the overwhelming wave to go to war won.
He has not apologised for lying and deception.
He should be tried and sent to jail regardless of the outcome.
He is guilty as charged. | |

You are quite right to mention those people as well - I had not forgotten them just had to get it off my chest. Totally agree he should be in jail but unfortunately that is not going to happen - he was so full of his own self importance. A liar who has been found out. | | | |

Let's not forget that he spent nearly 10 years in the role of Middle East Peace Envoy. Which can only be likened to putting Jimmy Saville and Cyril Smith in charge of Child Protection. |  | | |

That's not a fact at all. Both the Butler Inquiry and now the Chilcot Inquiry have said that Blair didn't lie. And I just watched Butler repeat that statement live on TV.
There was an interesting piece in the Guardian yesterday where Geoffrey Robetson QC - big leftie and human rights lawyer - ruled out Blair being taken to court. He was damning of Blair but his opinion was that no laws were broken because there was no appropriate law to break. There are laws in place now but they're obviously not retroactive.
There are, however, lots of other things you can blame Blair for. | | | |

Can't stand Blair but surely the emphasis should be on precisely who gave the misinformation on wmd's and how they reached that conclusion. Ultimately that information led to his decision. |  | | |

Surely the point was that Blair was so desperate to ingratiate himself with Bush and support him in his revenge bid against Saddam Hussein, that he was only interested in interpreting the information in ways that suited his own pre-determined agenda. | | | |

chilcot was part of the butler enquiry, so was hardly likely to find against himself. Bush and bliar arranged this war, the euphanism being regime change, in the preceding years. Justice is bought and the lawyers get fat. | | | |

All sorts of rumours abounded.That Bush had supplied Saddam with WMD's and was desperate the canisters with USA markings on them weren't found.
What was certain was Blair's pronouncement that the Al Samoud missile that was mooted could hit bases in Cyprus.That got quickly dropped - you kind of knew then the fix was in.
Bliar deserves a little annexe in Hell all to himself. | |

I had old friends in the Kurdish part of Iraq and in Mosul. The first would have been very pleased when Saddam was overthrown (he'd taken a bullet from one of Saddam's thugs and survived). The second, now that the worse thugs are in control in Mosul, probably has a different opinion. Things certainly changed for the worse!
Blair must take a lot of blame for the deaths in Iraq, and he must feel some responsibility for what is now happening - the insane brutality of ISIS. I don't think anyone could have seen the extent of that coming. Obama and Clinton removing US troops before the country was stable again wear that one.
Some writers of history may report Blair as a pawn, or useful idiot, in what others (e.g. in Jordan) have already identified (from a middle east perspective) as a multi-generational civil war inside Islam, which has no end in sight, but in which the traditional rival and enemy of Iraq is now gaining the upper hand..
