    He resided over the fairest most prosperous society in my life time with low crime and better schools and hospitals, so he wasn't all bad..

    I'm sure Blair didnt take us to war but it was the House of Commons who voted (and there was no constitutional requirement to ask them to vote) overwhelmingly to approve the war (invasion) in Iraq - i could be wrong like

    Bollocks.
    As much as you lick his arse, he's responsible for one million dead.
    He's a mass murderer & should be tried as such.

    Only person to come out of the Blair government with any credit is Robin Cook.
    Far from having a cross party majority, they didn't even have a Liebour one.
    So shove that up your **** pipe. <ok>

    Got backing on the basis of what Bliar told them i.e. Saddam had WMD he could ready for firing in 45 mins. That they never found any despite a massive search was a tad embarrassing, to put it very, very, mildly...

    Sorry billy but how can he individually be to blame? It was voted as it is not one persons decision it is a voteable process (war). I agree he's no angel but he's certainly not solely responsible. As commo said... Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I saw no protests from the soldiers at the time of the war yet is everyone is calling him? I worked for the MOD at the time and there was little animosity towards Blair a charley anyone blamed him until the last few years when the Tories started mud slinging.
