BBC Radio 5 Live debate this morning is discussing 5 years on; was it worth it?
The first 15 minutes was taken up with an interview with a man whose son was killed in Iraq. It wasn't Reginald Keys. It was a guy called Doug, and he thought the war was worth it. So we had a bloke whose son was killed in Iraq saying it was worth it.
A student from Baghdad has just been interviewed at length. She was complaining about the state of Iraq, but she doesn't blame the coalition, she blames the Iraqis themselves, for killing each other!
However, the people of the British public who are phoning in are overwhelmingly sane, and expressing their opinion that it was not worth it and Iraq is a bloody mess.
No mention of it being 5 bloody years after Iraq was invaded. 5 Bloody years!
There was no post-war plan. Why?
Billions of dollars has gone 'missing'.
Around a half million civilians were killed during the coalition bombing.
And the coalition financed all the militias while trying to rush through the oil privatisation law, which as far as I know has stalled.
This adds to the MoD package sent to schools portraying a heavenly and righteous outcome to the invasion.
