View Comments Tomorrow our former Prime Minister, Tony Blair goes in front of the Iraq enquiry.
Now the war, in all honesty, is something that really worries me. I mean, I can’t put my hand on my heart and say that Iraq would be a better place with Saddam still in power. But at the same time war troubles me, war should only be an option as the very last resort.
As a great man once said, where there is a thought of war, it must be overcome with a more powerful thought of peace.
In my heart I detest the fact that there was a war, with the deaths of innocents and young men on both sides, who only wanted to serve their country. But when you look at the crimes committed by Saddam against his own people, I think, maybe there was a case for regime change.
We were taken to war on what turned out to be false information, was that the result of deception, I don’t know, I hope not. I think that Tony Blair is an honourable man who honestly believed he was doing the right thing.
I am not really making sense am I, well, I really don’t know how to sum it all up in my head. My dad said to me before we went to war, imagine if we had stood up to Hitler after Kristallnacht, and removed him from power, would that have saved 60 million lives?
I wonder if regime change can ever be right? Who would decide when a regime crosses the line, who has the right to police the world, and who would watch the watchmen?
Either way I don’t think I will ever reconcile the war in my own mind, best I can hope to do is pray that this never happens again. I guess this is for historians to judge and make sense of.
God bless,
Michael
