Tony Blair has today been defending in front of the Chilcott Inquiry his decision to support the invasion of Iraq on the grounds that, after all, the world's a better place without Saddam Hussein.

That this is so is difficult to dispute.

What none of the entirely unbiased members of the Inquiry seems to have thought worth asking is this: Is the world a better place without all of the other one frigging million Iraqis killed in consequence of Blair's self-righteously defended war?

You've got the blood of the innocent on your hands, Blair. When people ask how it got there, don't insult us by answering a different question.

George W. Bush said the same thing -- over and over.

The invasion of Iraq proved itself a disaster. I wasn't happy about it when it first happened, and I'm still unhappy about it, very stupid maneuver. Not smart, not by a long shot. Anyone with half a conscious will agree that Saddam Hussein was a bad man; nevertheless, the situation over there has deteriorated dramatically ever since the west invaded. I could never see the reasoning behind trying to connect Iraq with the Taliban and terrorism. It doesn't compute. G. W. Bush was foolish and ego-bound to initiate this war in Iraq, and Great Britain's leadership was foolish to support it.
