True, and it led to the invasion of a foreign country, using our own troops, and subsequently caused the death of some of those troops, as well as thousands of innocent people. All for reasons that were never fully explained...fantastic.
I don't know that I'd call Blair an extremist nutjob. Wrong or right Iraq was an inevitability, and would have been even if we'd chosen not to get involved. He had to make a decision, made it, then failed to produce the evidence to justify why.
