a military adventure which displaced some 4 million Iraqis, killed and wounded as many as a million (we shall never know the true figure), and reduced the country’s precious oil output to the point where, even today, it remains below that of Saddam’s final year in power, is coming to an end.
writes Jon Snow and asks what the invasion achieved?
Perhaps Iraq enjoys a greater collective spirit of hope than at any recent time. But that hope has come expensively, and there is still a ways to go.
It is hard to imagine that history will smile on the two men, Bush and Blair, who decided to take the world in to this war
