The Sir Tony Blair interview.

 On BBC Two this evening we had Amol Rajan, interviewing Sir Tony Blair, about his time as prime minister for ten years. The discussion was wide ranging and took in the post 9/11 - so called war on terror and the invasion of Afghanistan and war against Iraq in March 2003. The intention was to find - Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). They were never found, much to the consternation of the British people and international countries - including in particular France and president Chirac. President George Bush, was determined to punish - who he thought was responsible and that was Saddam Hussein - he wasn't responsible. He said his greatest success was the "Good Friday agreement - which brought peace for the first time across Ireland for the first time in hundreds of years". Who would disagree with that? The interview is worth watching.
