Tony Blair, the former prime minister, told Fern Britton in an interview he would have invaded Iraq even without the evidence of weapons of mass destruction. He would still have thought it to be right to remove Saddam Hussein from power and support a regime change. According to Tony Blair he was a threat to the region and even without weapons of mass destruction he would have found a way to justify the Iraq war to the people and the parliament.

Reaction: First of all I think it is wrong to start a war because you want a regime change, there are other measures you can take. I think it is wrong to endanger the life's of residents in a country because you don't agree with the regime. Secondly, if you start a war, don't lie about your reasons. Because of this interview to me Tony Blair has lost all his credibility. I start to doubt the real reason Tony Blair started this war, especially now I realise that soon after the war had started it became clear that their were no weapons of mass destruction.
