The Report
of the Iraq Inquiry
1042.
On 20 March,
Ambassador William S. Farish, the US Ambassador to the UK,
sent
a letter
congratulating Mr Blair on his success in the House of Commons
debate and
1043.
Thanking
Ambassador Farish, Mr Blair responded that he
believed:
“… the
action the American and British Armed Forces are taking in Iraq
will make
our two
countries safer and Iraq a better place for its people. I think
this view is
increasingly
supported by British and international opinion. It is the right
thing to do.
I am
pleased to be working so closely with President Bush on this
