Iraq was only a contributor to Blairs fall The war was his first real moment of crisis, but it did command support amongst the opposition and in the country as well, and he won another general election in 2005 He was still seen as a 'winner' after this and was replaced more because of the Labour party's unhappiness with him (partly Iraq, but other things as well), to be replaced by Brown, who was also supportive on Iraq

By 2006, Labour's backbenchers were sick of Blair. Iraq was the straw that broke the camel's back. Tuition fees, privatization of hospitals, and deteriorating relations with trade unions were issues already held against him, which was increasingly worse as time went on. Blair's big sell to his party was, despite his more right-ward politics, he was 'electable'. However, that was more than wearing off. His popularity tanked post-2003. He won only 35% of the vote in 2005, miraculously coming with a decent majority in 2005. He was consistently 10pts behind a weak Tory Party thereafter. The backbenchers and party as a whole eventually threw him out, and replaced with Gordon Brown who was at one point considered the most popular politician in the country and more in touch with the Labour base.

6 out 7 of Iraqi civilians were killed by "insurgents, militia, and terrorists" according to Iraq Body Count's John Sloboda, the people Blair sent soldiers their to kill and capture and you were rooting for. No doubt they were largely motivated to commit so much senseless carnage because they knew you would blame their Western enemies for their atrocities, so every murder they committed became a propaganda victory.

Cottaging - Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (Tony Blair, former PM of the UK) (too old to reply) Jacob Von Hogflume 11 years ago Permalink 'He was charged and appeared in court at Bow Street Magistrates Court for importunity in a public toilet with another male. He tried to get sexual favour from the other man; little did he know that the toilet was being watched by police. Blair was fined £500, and walked away with nobody knowing who he really was as he used his middle names to cover who he was. Charles Lynton is the name used, and his friends in court got him off with a fine, because he is one of them.'

We left work to watch the horror unfold on 24 hour news. Our friends, brothers and sisters left home to defend the horror of the new terror without which we would still be looking over our shoulder.
