Yet it has become clear over the last year or so that religion permeated many aspects of Blair’s work in government. Last year, Blair told ITV1 that he had prayed while making his decision on committing British forces to Iraq.
“In the end, there is a judgment that, I think if you have faith about these things, you realize that judgment is made by other people . . . and if you believe in God, it’s made by God as well,” he said.
So God-fueled decision making underlay the decision on both sides of the Atlantic to launch the invasion of Iraq, resulting in the “major debacle” with which we currently have to contend.
