Blair pledges to donate book proceeds to Royal British Legion

I don't think Blair took us to war with evil intent.
It was just a bad call. I think he was beguiled by Bush and perhaps had hopes that he would be a hero like Maggie over the Falklands.
And he persuaded himself that Saddam did have WMD and influential people, notably Alistair Campbell, patted him on the back and said he was doing the right thing.
So a basic lack of judgment but bear in mind that Saddam did need taking out even though "regime change" was a banned act. I often wondered if the West had plans to just assassinate him and his evil family. Mossad would have helped.

Can you really think that he did not know what was really happening, do you remember that he told us that he got a vicarious thrill from sending our troops into battle?
Too much stacked against what you say I am afraid.
I know Saddam was a tyrant but the Iraqis were saying that he at least was able to keep the Sunni's and the Sh'ites apart and the Iraqi's did at least have water and electricity as well as a country.
It is always down to the people to sort out their leaders.
What have they got now if not a destroyed country and every so often a suicide bomber doing his bit to kill large numbers of innocent people?
