"Throughout the inquiry most of the attention has remained firmly fixed, fixated even, upon the interplay between political and military actors here and in the USA, and the ramifications of the war as felt by them, while the subject that is of greatest concern to the greatest number of people, here as in Iraq, gets only brief mentions."Make it theatre and the crowd will hoot and holler.
Surely this is no accident. Let the media feast on the personality conflicts between "top ranking" militatoids and bizarrely grinning politicians so the public will be distracted from the undeniable truth that the UK went to war on Iraq against the will of the people and failed to secure the lives of the Iraqi people, leading to the deaths of more than 100,000 (The Lancet still insists the civilian death is six or seven times that estimated by Iraq Body Count) and the near total destruction of Iraq's infrastructure.
