Blair claims that conflict with Iraq is about the possession of weapons of mass destruction. But that is his allegation and it's a partial reason. The unstated reasons are that oil is part of the equation, along with the wider strategic interests of the US in the middle east. Blair claims he does not go to war lightly. Yet Blair has supported bombing in the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. The UK is a major world arms trading nation. When not at war Blair and his 'new world order' friends in the US maintain a state of half war. Thousands upon thousands of innocent civilian lives have been lost in countries which Blair has helped bomb since 1997.
