This was the interview we were all waiting for. Would he backtrack on his feelings about the decisions he took to enter Iraq and Afghanistan, and to kill millions in the process? Not a chance. He seems even more determined to convince himself that he done the correct thing, which is a bit of a kick in the teeth for all those family's who are now having to live with the after effects of those devastating wars. Also check the video of the anti-Blair protests at his 1st book signing for 'The Journey', which was held the following day at Easons bookstore on O'Connell Street in Dublin.
