The Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq War of 2003 will now not report its findings until 2016. That, of course, is quite disgraceful. The great and the good who were concerned in promoting the Iraq War desire the war to be treated as history rather than current affairs. The longer the inquiry lasts the less possibility there is of any key people in the decision making ever being called to account for their actions or face any proceedings that justice may require.
At one time the Iraq War used to be justified, after the fact, on the basis that Iraq and the world was a better safer place with Saddam Hussein deposed than it was when Saddam was in power. Twelve years after the war started we can examine that justification and find it is entirely flawed. We see
Chilcot’s Inquiry may make no difference to the world and it seems the more obvious it becomes that Iraq was a better place under Saddam the longer it will take Chilcot to conclude his deliberations and publish his report.
