In comments which could be interpreted as self-pitying Mr Blair said that it did not matter whether the continuing controversy about Iraq had taken a toll on me.
He said that Iraqs Saddam Hussein was 20 times as bad as Syrias President Assad but admitted that it would take a generation to make Iraq safer than it was in 2003.
Mr Blair is still crticised for sending British troops into Iraq on March 20, 2003 in the mistaken belief that its Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
In the weeks leading up to the invasion, more than one million people marched through London against the Iraq invasion.

Will you complain about Jewish people being upset about the Holocaust, even though it was 70 years ago?
How about all those Chinese complaining about about the Rape of Nanking, even though it was 75 years ago?

(9,186 posts)With estimates of 100,000 civilians, and 179 British soldiers, killed since 2003, Mr Blair conceded that the price of the Iraq war had been very, very high.
I can only wish (horrible way to phrase this) that America suffered 179 deaths since 2003.

(62,325 posts)that got so many innocent human beings slaughtered and tortured and maimed and left without their loved ones for the rest of their lives.
Millions of innocent human beings were brutally destroyed either physically or emotionally by him and his fellow war criminals and I have to give all of them credit for their restraint.
He is clearly a sociopath, he appears to be unable to have one iota of empathy for those harmed by his lies and can think only of himself. He actually wants us all to think highly of him regardless of the war crimes he is responsible for.
I keep hoping that one day the West will follow the example of South America and even after decades, will finally start the long overdue prosecutions, even if it has to be posthumously. It's clear that no one in power today has the ethics, the moral character or the courage to do it. But victims never forget and injustice may take a while to be corrected, but I have faith that Tony and his war criminal cohorts will one day receive the justice they denied so many others.
He should go away and stop reminding people of his crimes if he had any intelligence at all.
