WHAT a first-class letter from Fred Holdstock (HAS, Oct 28) about Tony Blair. I would almost fully endorse everything Mr Holdstock so eloquently states.
The important point he misses regarding Mr Blair’s attendance at the Iraq memorial service is this: he has pretended to himself that he went to war on the strength of weapons of mass destruction being in Iraq. If you tell yourself something long enough, you begin to believe it.
The only time this veneer of self-deceit almost cracked was when in Japan Mr Blair was told about the death of weapons expert Dr David Kelly.
It is indeed true that somewhere along the line Mr Blair and his cronies will face the music for their vile atrocities in Iraq. I only hope I live long enough to see it.
