Well yes, but only as far both were wars.. like it or not it makes little difference, you can pick and choose which war you like or dislike but troops and civilians are going to be killed.. to carp on about Blair or Bush or any leader to apologise for a war is not going to happen.. that does not mean we cannot say sorry for killing innocent people.. but then that's just my opinion.
