I feel the Iraq war was a tragedy. I feel it should never have been. Although I did not support the war but if things had gone bad and I had been called upon I would have lived up to my oath to serve Queen and Country even if it meant fighting with sticks, stones and barefooted. Which happens to be the reason why I am this upset and disillusioned about events that lead up to it.
Its all been laid bare now and we have seen that it should not have been, why it was no one seems to be asking that vital question. What was the Agenda behind the war. Everyone still wants to know. Tony Blair, Jack Straw, Lord Goldsmith......these people are Lords among men, they have proven their worth and have helped carved the path upon which many of us live our lives. I would always regard them in awe and with a great amount of respect. However, gnawing away in my heart is that question....WHY?
It was not WMD, it was not fear of an attack, Iraqis were not in any imminent Danger from Saddam...We all knew this and yet there seemed to have been a push for an invasion. What and where was the origin of that. No one seems to be concerned about the why.
The Iraq inquiry I think is just a diversion, a kind of stamp to Legalize the war. I think it is just a ploy to evenly spread the blame and make the world see that everyone involved got a smack on the wrist. This however does not fill the void left by the answer we are yet to receive.
I feel sorry this whole incident ever happened and hope we can put it behind us as soon as possible. I hope this Iraq inquiry does that.
