LONDON, Jan 16 — British former prime minister Tony Blair said today his leadership should be remembered for more than the Iraq war as he rejected fierce criticism over his receipt of a knighthood.
The announcement was defended by the Conservative government, but several online petitions want it rescinded. One on change.org, accusing Blair of “war crimes”, has drawn more than one million signatories. But he stressed “you don’t occupy a position of leadership and take decisions without arousing a lot of opposition, and so it didn’t surprise me”.
His successes included securing peace in Northern Ireland, investments in health and education, and expanding gay rights. But he was widely reviled at home for his support for the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.
