Iraq war inquiry

I feel the whole topic of the Iraq war is very very distressing. I said at the time it was wrong to go to war with no exit strategy, with no plans for the welfare of the population we were to invade and take over the governance of, and with our armed forces equipped for Northern European operations only. To my mind this was illegal in itself. It was tantamount to the attenpted murder of our people in uniform. And sending them to a war we had no gain from, on a lie, saying it was not for regime change when it clearly was, and always has been. Blair even claiomed success in achieving regime change as justification for going to war in the first place so he did acknowledge that had been his objective - an objective outlawed by the United Nations on whose paperwork they used to send our forces in.
