Another vote for Tony Blair here.
He still won't admit that he was wrong over Iraq. This week he came out with some shit like "Britain severely underestimated the effect our actions would have in Iraq". No, Britain didn't - he did. 2 million people marched in London begging Blair not to go to war in Iraq, but he didn't listen and went ahead with it anyway.
Now, almost 15 years later, still nothing good has come from the Iraq war. We've had thousands of dead British soldiers, thousands of dead American soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis - and we haven't found a teaspoon of sugar, let alone a weapon of mass destruction. All we've done is increase tensions between the middle-east and the UK and America, and let a whole bunch of people die in the process.
I just wish he'd own up to his actions. Tony Blair was a pivotal figure in allowing all of this to happen, but he continues to shrug responsibility and seems to blame everyone else. If he's not going to apologise, I'd rather not hear from him again.
