I did not support the invasion of Iraq, but have felt the UK has a responsibility to see matters to some from of close given the action taken. From a distance the hanging of Saddam, in some ways, now seems a relatively minor issue compared to the desperate need to restore some form of normality.
On the day of Saddam's demise I thought a cross section of coverage might be useful in exploring why the Iraq decision will remain part of Blair's legacy, whatever the final outcome.
Saddam's end - the death of a dictator
Archbishop Williams reflections on the decision to go to war
One Lib Dems view
What Bush is reported to have said.
"sent to hell" says Sun
"God is great" reports Independent
Al Jazeera reports his death
Reuters report
Each and every one of us will have a view on these events but there can be little doubting the effect of mass media coverage on modern life.
