    A report published by the British newspaper "The Guardian" concluded with "two main lessons" of the results of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, warning that "the allies may drag you into war."

    Jonathan Friedland, who wrote the report titled "The Real Lesson of the Invasion of Iraq? Beware of Spies and Allies Who Might Drag You Into War," said he has spent the past week poring through documentaries, news programs and articles about the invasion, and came away with two main lessons from that immersion.

    The first lesson is not to do harm or harm.

    He says the arguments made by Blair and Bush for the Iraq war are manifold, but the basic principle of the case for military intervention was that this was for the benefit of the Iraqi people themselves, who would be liberated from the grip of a brutal tyrant.

    He adds that Saddam Hussein was overthrown, but at a heavy cost: about 300,000 lives, according to one estimate, mostly Iraqi civilians.

    He says the invasion created a vacuum filled with terror and bloodshed. For many Iraqis, the cure prescribed by Bush and Blair was worse than the disease.

    He adds that a former senior intelligence officer told him this week: "No matter how horrible the system is, chaos and disorder is worse."

    The writer says the second lesson: "When it comes to secret intelligence, be skeptical."

    He adds that when raising the issue of war, Blair focused heavily on the intelligence he had seen, which, he said, proved "beyond a shadow of a doubt" that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. But it turned out to be completely wrong: there were no weapons of mass destruction. The Chilcot inquiry into the invasion of Iraq concluded that the then prime minister had deliberately exaggerated the threat, and that fact alone is sufficient to condemn Blair in the eyes of history.



    He adds that Blair justified his actions by saying that London was "Washington's strongest ally", and that is why it was tempted to participate in the invasion of Iraq.    [/size]
