The blame for the Iraq war lies with our supine cabinet

Why did our ministers not question the attorney general's legal advice?

Who would have thought that 13 pages of paper would so come to haunt
Tony Blair? Yet the full version of the opinion drawn up by the
attorney general, Lord Goldsmith, about the legality of a military
attack on Iraq will, I suspect, come to rank in recent British history
only with the protocol enshrining the Anglo-French-Israeli collusion
before the invasion of Suez in 1956. Sir Anthony Eden instructed his
cabinet secretary to burn the British copy of that protocol.

It was such a stupid move, I suspect that it owed a lot to the Drinks Cabinet,
as well.
