There are many who were uncertain whether the WMD information we were presented with was true or not, but what was clear to us all was that there was a cruel and tyrannical regime in place.
This provided the ambiguity that the Govt needed to proceed anyway, beacuse they would always be able to partially justify it afterwards on the basis that we had freed the Iraqi people.
Today many of those uncertain people are saying just that, "we don't know the truth but that doesn't mattter because Iraq is now free" Indeed they are and I hope that equal investment to "new regime development" is made as was given to "regime change".
The next target, and I believe there will be one, may not have such a clear cut "regime of terror" for us to be so blase. That is why it is important that our politicians do not mislead us. What has occurred here is that political reputation has been sacrificed to political expediency.
