Letters to the Editor

Where's the mastermind?

The recently published Chilcot Report has showed that Iraq invasion had been launched on a false pretext; Tony Blair overstated the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, sent ill-prepared troops into battle and had inadequate plans for the aftermath. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people died. 

Now after the report has come out, everyone is pointing their fingers to Blair, but what about G.W. Bush? He is no less guilty than Blair for that unnecessary war and killings of so many innocents; in fact, he was the mastermind. That meaningless invasion in the name of keeping 'world peace' has turned the world more violent than ever before. Now what we see around i.e. global terrorism, IS etc are the consequences of that.
