Tony Blair: 'We didn't cause Iraq crisis'

Nope, they just opened the gates of hell, and Obama removed the forces that were keeping it relatively contained.

No going back now, no amount of blame, responsibility or denial can change that reality now.

Oh he is crazy. This is on him and Bush...at least Saddam had them under control. Iraq is going to be a Islamic State by the end of the month. Mission Accomplished huh?

But he does own cr-ISIS... probably.

I've not seen this 'Smiley Face Moron' for years either.

Funny how he came outta the woodwork when his oil fields came under "attack"..?

Now,now is that anyway to talk about such a revered statesman like Blair? Sure he is a bold face lair and corporate boot licker but we must respect the office of the PM. To me he's a perfect example of the modern society never take personal responsibility for anything.Take credit for every success even if you had nothing to do with it.He truly thinks the Iraq war was a major victory.

The problem with IRAQ is the same problem that was with Yugoslavia and much of Africa. Artificial borders created by other powers, such as the colonial European powers in Africa, the Soviet power after WW2, and the European powers after WW1. These created borders had no bearing on the local populations within the borders that were really tribal matters. Forced to live with each other within these artificial borders, only a dictatorial strongman held them together. Tito in Yugoslavia, Hussein in Iraq, various African dictators in the numerous African nations given independence after the colonials left, after these same colonials used strong arm methods to control their populations.
Once the dictators fall, the tribal problems are free to arise. Serbs, Bosnians, Kosovoans (Albanians), Macedonians, Croatians, and so on, all fighting over religion and still celebrating battles from the 1200s. Old enemies, new freedoms to fight wars. The Shia and Sunni in Iraq. The many tribes of Africa such as the Hutu and Tutsi in the Rwandan horrors. If the borders had been created following the already established areas of control that had been in place before these created borders, we would just have the usual country vs country wars. Instead, we have civil wars and massacres and atrocities.
Should we have left the dictators in place? Perhaps. The cultures of the Middle East seem to prefer dictators, don't they? And the tribes of Africa have always warred. The groups of eastern Europe were the results of invasions, displacements, slavery.... Perhaps Blair and Bush didn't cause the problem, but in Iraq in particular, Britain had a large hand in it due to its actions along with the French after WW1 in creating the country itself.

You get A to fight B and weaken them.
You get C to fight A and weaken them.
You get A & B to fight C and weaken them.
then repeat.

Then they are so weak that you go in and take over and rule them.
