The British prime minister has been politically destroyed by the Iraq war. Gerard Baker believes the opprobrium is excessive:

People used to shout 'fascist' at Margaret Thatcher but I don't really ever think their heart was in it. With Mr Blair it's deadly serious. Imagine the raucous, triumphant, mocking Shia at Saddam Hussein's execution — minus the beards — and you have a sense of what most of these people feel about the Prime Minister.
