It seems to be saying exactly what everyone else - except Blair - is saying now.

But regardless of whether the war was right or wrong, leaving Sadam in power would have been an awful thing to do in itself. He was a cruel and wicked man. Lesser of two evils? Maybe. But why should anyone have to settle for evil at all?

I think the West will gradually see that the only decent thing to do now is go back. Finish the job. It's a horrible thought, but anything less would be too unfair on the Iraqi people. We broke Iraq. We should mend it. Sadly.

And the latest dreadful news this morning will perhaps reinforce that idea.
