Tony Blair: ‘You Can’t Not Have Regrets About The Lives Lost’ Appearing on This Week, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was asked whether he had regrets about the Iraq War. “You can’t not have regrets about the lives lost,” said Blair. “I mean, you would be inhuman if you didn’t regret the death of so many extraordinary, brave and committed soldiers, of civilians that have died in Iraq, or die still now in Afghanistan. And of course you feel an enormous responsibility for that, not just regret. And I say in the book the concept responsibility for me has its present and future tense, not just its past tense.”
