He did his best! Given it wasn’t what most believed it to be.

Critics of Blair argue that he misled the public and Parliament by overstating the threat posed by Iraq, making the war illegal under international law. The invasion lacked explicit authorization from the United Nations Security Council, which is why many believe Blair’s actions may constitute a war crime, particularly in relation to the violation of the UN Charter and principles governing the use of force.

There is a much simpler explanation for this aspect. Not being able to get a UN security council resolution because of use of the veto.

Then comes Iraq. A country that had attacked another and had to be driven out. Concerns about the development of weapons capable of attacking Israel. Also about the use of chemical agents. This a leader that had been well supported to counter Iran.

Flawed intelligence. Well it happens, The important aspect is that the veto means even if correct nothing may happen. It's a geopolitical aspect and little else. Right and wrong needn't figure.

What comes next. The banking crisis, Blame those in power so need a change of gov That results in anything that can be used to show blame gets dug up. People follow the political beliefs and ignore the factor I mentioned above.
