3 years on and the world is less safe and we know Bush and Blair lied to us.

It was three years today that Bush and Blair decided to invade Iraq. The real reasons are still unclear. There were no WMD, he had little links with fundementalist groups, he was no threat to the West.

Today we have a worse problem with terrorism, ruling Iraq is clearly not going to happen and Iran is building a nuclear capability that the West can do little about. Do you think saddam would of allowed Iran to have a nuclear bomb?

The profit from the oil is not going to materialise. The expected profits from the construction work will not be there as well. no way can you build of any significance in the present situation.Unless you are supplying the troops with weapons.

When the US/UK troops do pull out the countyr will be taken over by a Shia fundementalist group that will be as Annti the West as Iran. and will be a haven for terrorists.

As for making Iraq a democracy and pro West, welll that excuse holds less water then the WMD excuse.
