Accept the fact: wrong invasion
66% USA citizens agreed that is the biggest mistake with a loss of thousand of military personnel and a 3 trillon cost obtained from China,
Iraq is not better now than before. There is no utilities services, unemployment is high, no prosperity at all!
I hope the UK learns a lesson to stay away from the Middle East!

It's hardly surprising that a majority of Brits says that the Iraq war damaged the UK's reputation.
Millions of Brits went out on the streets to alert the Blair government that they were about to do something that was 'not in their name'.

But the Blair machine steamrollered the nation and provided the justification for the US to create another Middle East war ... lying in so many British ways to manipulate a UN approval.

One hopes that, before too long, Blair stands in the dock of a War Trial.

I'm American, I tend to be conservative, and I'm not even anti-military complex....but even I agree this war was the opposite of being in our best interests, and Cheney knew it beforehand. If USA/UK had gotten concessions/mineral/oil rights, maybe I would still have backed it, but the fact is those rights went to China, so it was a pure lose/lose situation for us.
