2. Fundamentally, Iraq happened because 9/11 changed the US' moral calculus as to allowing evil regimes to continue.pic.twitter.com/r8R28ujZzK

Sure. These docs imply to me this was about clearing out bad regimes, and Iraq was for whatever reason top of the list.
And Iraq was a "bad regime" in this world view because it flouted UNSC resolutions, invaded neighbors and used CW on civilians.
Why the fuck would we go to war bc CW on civs when our sanctions had killed tens or hundreds of thousands?
because it was a moral crusade after 9/11. And direct deaths of CW aren't similar to indirect deaths of economic sanctions.
No. 9/11 had zero to do with it. It was planned before 9/11. 9/11 just provided cheap excuses for it, made it easier.
Obviously. Doesn't change that these docs say UK went to war over (a) recalculus post-9/11 and (b) pipe-dreams of intl-stability
And it certainly does not give anyone the right to appear squeamish abt CW we happily gave Iraq.
No. It's entirely possible Blair & Bush were given a loaded gun pointed at Iraq for self-serving reasons by bad people.
