He defended his decision to intervene in the Middle East alongside former US President George W. Bush to avoid criticism and justify Britain’s wrongdoing in invading Iraq and Afghanistan.

“People often say about Iraq or Afghanistan that I made the wrong decision, but you have to do what you think is right,” said the 68-year-old British politician.

“Whether you are right or not is another matter,” Blair said. In those really big decisions, you do not know what the different components of the case are, and ultimately you have to follow your instincts.
