10. It takes 2.6m wds from a titled milquetoast in Elizabethan cosplay to lend legitimacy to the decade-long opinions of millions. #Chilcot

Too late we get the establishment acknowledgment of what we knew already. There was a reason that two million marched in London against the war, millions more worldwide to try and stop it. We knew it was pointless and would only lead to more misery, that the reasons for it were lies, that it couldn’t stop, wouldn’t stop terrorism and –surprise surprise– it didn’t.
When we marched we were told we were fools at best, naive idiots, complicit in Saddam’s crimes. The low end estimate of the excess deaths caused by the War on Iraq is in the neighbourhood of 1-1.5 million; considering what happened after the war and occupation ended, that is probably far too low. How much better would Iraq and the world be off right now had the sensible people not listened to and enabled the warmongering duo of Bush and Blair?
