PM Blair didn't do anything because of Bush, it was his decision-I don't think Bush showed up at his mansion with a gun. The world IS a better place without Hussain in it (funny, rhymes with insane) and make no mistake, he was a terrorist in his own right and killed MANY, as did his sons and the British people should be proud they are standing up for people who for many years could not stand up for themselves-you are a wonderful country and we (Americans) love you.
I think where people are risking their lives it's all the MORE important we question everthing!
Blair doesn't live in a mansion...he lives in a very small house with not even a yard :p
He sided with bush for lots of reasons...mainly because having such a scary force as america as a friend is much better than having them as a rival. Also lots of little reasons inculding the son of star wars project (or whatever it was called).
Saddam was an evil man...but the truth is he was the elected president of Iraq...much like Bush...but unlike Bush and america it turns out he had no weapons of mass-destruction! So, with america having the second worst human rights record in the world (as recognised by amnesty international)...shouldn't the rest of the world be getting ready to bomb america and free you guys in the name of the free world and human rights? I'm not saying we actually SHOULD...but you've got to think about it...
