The war against Iraq, Bush and Blair have caused the development of Islamic terrorism

What the English commission has certified, with undue delay, they are those that have always been the obvious responsibility of the current political situation that has arisen in the Middle East and has many implications for international balances. The first consideration is that the intention of exporting democracy, without proper planning coupled to an inability to understand the real complexity of the interests at stake, the relevance of religion and social structures in the area, it was only a excuse behind which to hide economic and geopolitical interests of the parties at that time commanded the US and Britain itself. Behind the attack against Iraq led by Saddam Hussein were the reasons for the presence of weapons of mass destruction, what, then contradicted by the facts. This belief was real? If you answer yes, you must emphasize the inefficiency and unreliability of information services, which would totally wrong such an important assessment; but if you respond in a negative way, then there has been a serious political travesty against the public opinions, not just American and British, but those of the whole world. Justify a war, let's stop for now only to the conflict, without analyzing its consequences, with a huge lie can not not entail criminal offense, maybe not punishable by law, which undermines the political and historical level of the main political figures, ie those who decided the irreversibly conflict. The Iraqi invasion had been recommended by several international figures, but above all, by those who had to rely more to make this decision: diplomats. At that time Saddam Hussein did not constitute a danger to the West and could still maintain an order that can prevent the current course, this does not mean that the dictator had to remain in command of Iraq indefinitely: the violence of which he was author They were punished and the country freed, but that was to take place by other means and gradually. The large number of deaths and violence that led to the war must weigh at least on historical judgment and reputation of Blair and Bush, without any appeal. But much more serious were the consequences, which led to the current instability in the Middle East for the power vacuum that has been created and that has been filled by Islamic terrorism, ambiguously supported by Sunni states formally allies of 'West. This result implies far greater responsability, those already serious about the Iraq war. It is not only the number of victims and suffering that resulted from that war, these must be added political instability, global insecurity and even economic consequences that ensued. The widening of the conflict, with asymmetric mode in the Western world is a further consequence of the desire to export democracy to Iraq. Blair said he has not repented and took back then decisions in a sincere and that the current Iraq is better than then. You can not object to the sincerity of the former British prime minister, but he is sure that his political and diplomatic foresight had been close to zero, as shown by the results of the commission of inquiry and this is the final judgment, strongly negative about a personality again recently it acclaimed policy in the field of what calls itself progressive left. That Iran today is better is certainly true for the Kurds, who obtained a form of self-government closer to the exercise of their full sovereignty, but Sunnis, who were invaded by the Islamic State extremists, it can be said , although it is a paradox that, at least the situation has not improved, while the Shiites have taken the command of the nation, in this favored by a short-sighted choice of American administrations, which did not favor the sharing of power, what meant to be more exposed to terrorist violence of Sunni. Finally, the result of the commission, can not but mean a negative judgment not only for Blair, but for all of British foreign policy, which has proven to not take into account the repeated historical errors of which was the protagonist of the end of the period colonial. We must hope that this form of self-criticism induces future men of British government not to repeat the mistakes of previous generations, which could have been avoided with a minimum of historical analysis, even if the experience of Cameron, with the reckless use of the referendum on 'European Union output, does not allow to be optimistic.
