Panthawi imodzimodziyo, Blair ananama kuti nkhondoyo inali yolakwika chifukwa cha "nzeru" zoipa, ndipo adanena kuti palibe njira ina yabwino kwambiri:
"Tayesa kulowererapo ndikutsitsa asitikali ku Iraq; tayesera kuchitapo kanthu popanda kuyika asilikali ku Libya; ndipo sitinayesepo kuchitapo kanthu koma kufuna kusintha maboma ku Syria," adatero. "Sizikudziwika kwa ine kuti, ngakhale ndondomeko yathu sinagwire ntchito, ndondomeko zotsatila zakhala zikuyenda bwino."
Tsopano, mwana wanu wazaka 10 wosaphunzitsidwa bwino angaganize kuti kugwetsa maboma akunja kwakhala tsoka mwanjira iliyonse, chifukwa chake siziyenera kuchitidwa konse. Osati mnzathu Tony. Pamapeto pake adapereka kusapepesa chifukwa china chilichonse chomwe akanatha kuchita - kuphatikiza kusalanda boma la Iraqi konse - chikadakhala choyipa kwambiri:
"Zimandivuta kupepesa chifukwa chochotsa Saddam. Ndikuganiza, kuyambira lero mu 2015, kuli bwino kuti kulibe kusiyana ndi komweko, "adatero Blair.

Bwererani mkati 2004, BBC inadzitama kuti ikhoza kupeza 49% ya Iraqis ("pafupifupi theka"!) kunena kuti kuwukirako kunali "kolondola." Mu 2007, Kafukufuku waku Iraq adapeza kuti 90% ya aku Iraqi amakhulupirira kuti akadakhala bwino asanaukire. Mu 2011, kafukufuku wa ku United States anapeza kuti anthu ambiri a ku Iraq ankaganiza kuti anali oipitsitsa kuposa momwe ankaganizira kuti ali bwino, chifukwa cha kuukira.
Mwina ma Iraqi osadziwawo satha kuwona momwe aliri bwino. Izi zikufotokozera chifukwa chake adayenera kuwukiridwa ndi kutanganidwa poyamba. Koma a kufufuza mosamala za imfa, kuvulala, kupwetekedwa mtima, kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe, kuwonongeka kwa zomangamanga, ndi kuwonongeka kwa anthu komwe Bush, Blair, ndi kampani akuyambitsa nkhondo ku Iraq kuchokera ku 2003 kupita patsogolo monga chimodzi mwa zochitika zoopsa kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi.
Zachidziwikire kuti gehena yomwe idapangidwa ku Libya ku 2011 sikufanana ndi zomwe zidachitika ku Iraq. Gehena yomwe idapangidwa ku Syria imayamba kulimbana ndi Iraq, koma idaipitsidwa pang'onopang'ono ndi kuyesetsa kwa azungu kuti agwetse boma, osati ndi kuletsa azungu. Pachifukwa chimenecho, zakhala zikuipiraipira kwambiri chifukwa cha kuukira kwa Iraq ndi Libya m'mbuyomu, komanso kukhala ndi zida zankhondo zaku US m'zaka zingapo zapitazi.
Tunisia yangobweretsa kwathu Mphotho Yamtendere ya Nobel makamaka chifukwa chokhala ndi nthawi yopuma yamwayi, mwina yokhudzana wina ndi mnzake. Choyamba, Tunisia ikukhala pamafuta ochepa ndi gasi komanso njira yochepetsera mapaipi amafuta ndi gasi. Chachiwiri, lalandira “thandizo” lochepa kwambiri kuchokera ku asitikali aku US ndi aku Europe. Kwa mbali zambiri, Pentagon ndi UK achita ku Tunisia zomwe Tony Blair sangathe kuganiza kuti angachite ku Iraq, Libya, kapena Syria, ndiko kuti, adazisiya yekha, chifukwa adapeza njira yake yopangira boma labwino.
Koma, wina angafunse, ndimotani mmene Kumadzulo kungangoyimirira pamene maboma ankhanza akuzunza anthu awo?
Chabwino, Kumadzulo sikumangokhala pafupi. Nthaŵi zina limagwetsa maboma amenewo, kupangitsa aliyense kukhala woipitsitsa. Nthawi zambiri imakhala ndi zida, ndalama, ndikuthandizira maboma amenewo - monga ku Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Iraq yatsopano, ndi zina zotero - kusunga aliyense m'masautso awo.
M'nkhani ya Blair ya 2010, iye analemba kuti Wachiwiri kwa Purezidenti wa US a Dick Cheney "ankafuna 'kusintha maboma' m'mayiko onse a ku Middle East omwe amawaona kuti ndi odana ndi zofuna za US. . . . Akadagwira ntchito ku Iraq, Syria, Iran. ” Koma, ndithudi, umenewo si mndandanda wa mayiko amene akuwononga kwambiri dziko kapena anthu awo. Ndilo mndandanda wa mayiko omwe akukana kulonjeza kumvera Washington, mayiko "odana ndi zofuna za US."
Ndipo pamenepo tikuwona chifukwa chake Tony Blair samaganizira malingaliro a anthu aku Iraq asananene kuti "ndibwino kuti kulibe kusiyana ndi komweko." Kuchokera kumalingaliro amakampani ankhondo aku Western, makampani amafuta aku Western, abwenzi aku Western ndi anzawo a Tony Blair, akulondola. Ndi bwino kuti anthu onsewa aphedwe komanso kuti derali likhale chipwirikiti kwa zaka zambiri.
