Investigations by both our country and yours have proved that neither Bush nor Blair was lying, so IMO there is nothing to forgive.
Which investigation are you referring to? Every investigation I have read, including the most in depth one around, the 911 Commission Report states flat out that there were no WMDs period! None left after the Gulf War, and no Iraqi involvement at all with the attacks against our country.We were all lied to, including Tony Blair.
