"I'd do it again"- Blair.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8485694.stm

Tony Blair has said the Iraq war made the world a safer place and he has "no regrets" about removing Saddam Hussein.

In a robust defence of his decision to back war, Mr Blair said Saddam was a "monster and I believe he threatened not just the region but the world."

..

Ok, I understand saddam was a volatile guy, and posed a threat to his neighbors, but still, was it really necessary for the UK to enter america's war? and isn't it a little dramatic to claim he was a threat to the world?

well, look at why Blair is saying he'd do it again.

Saddam was still hiding his programs, up to the end.

Yes, I understand that.

what I don't understand is why blair decided to get involved, why he decided to take action without planning what to do with iraq after saddam's removal, and where he got the authority to decide the future of other countries.

It's an interesting question why Blair really decided to go to war with Iraq. Was it really just sucking up to the Americans, or was there more involved?

You do realize that he had nothing (at least WMD-wise) to hide? Or do I have to dig up the US report by Duelfer(?) again?

who said the US and UK have the duty and the right to invade every country in the world that has some crazy leader who enjoys making threats?
