When the cheerleaders admit they were wrong, we'll move on

Three years on from the invasion of Iraq, how Blair and Bush got us
into this mess matters as much as how we get out of it

By the time you get to bed tonight, more will have died brutal bloody
deaths in Iraq. The toll in the two weeks after the destruction of the
Samarra mosque was 500, which averages 35 people a day - men, women and
children. The explosions and the deaths have become so routine, they
barely register with public opinion any more. Occasionally they make
the television news and we flinch with horror from the blood and
brutality. This is a conflict unlike any other, where the killers kill
themselves as they kill.
