    Campbell told an incident in his book: Tony Blair asked Campbell how he should start his speech to sell the Iraq war to the British people, as the cameras were being set up. Campbell replied, "How's, My Fellow Americans..." This is a true story as per Campbell's book, the journal he maintained while in office.

      B.E is quite intellectual actually, so surprised he is on chanel4 glad to see him make appearances on tvand should do more often. Hes engaged more and more in political thought as well as humanities, it crosses over into the arts I think if youcross-bridge his musical world with his opinions you will find quite a well informed and enlightened brain behind this man. He is funny too, he embodies the right principles we lack in the mainstream. REAL dare I say, pop figure intellectuals encouraging young people to engage...you should check out some of his recent talks. He also supports Jeremy Corbyn. :-)

    This is not a zero-sum game. Before the Arab Spring the Iraqis were enslaved in a Stalinist terror; that's no little thing; they now have democracy, a parliament and an independent judiciary. A million people died in the Iraq Iran war. How many more wars might Saddam have started in thirteen years?

    • @sadiq7700

      The UK and USA supported Saddam for years and provided him with the green light to attack Iran. Once they had a falling out with Saddam because he wouldn't bow down to them any longer they committed over a decade of war crimes of sanctions which suffocated the life out of innocent Iraqis as whole to teach a lesson to their friend they had fallen out with. If you cannot see how morally bankrupt western leadership is you sir are blind.

      You fundamentally miss the point. It is one thing to accept losing a loved one in war but quite another when the case for that war was based on information that is proven to be wrong and where many believe the public and Parliament were mislead and the war itself was potentially illegal. On that basis, she is perfectly entitled to feel that her brother's life was wasted unnecessarily.
