Tony Blair has insisted that the allied operation in Iraq since 2003 had been the "right thing" to do.
He blamed the violence there on a minority of extremists and said the operation in Iraq was part of a global battle against terrorism.
In a Sky News interview ahead of next week’s fourth anniversary of the war, Mr Blair said:
"I can’t think of a better cause than helping people who want to be democratic and free."
He said it was a tragedy that so many British and US soldiers had lost their lives.
But he went on:
"They have not lost their lives because we’ve been trying to do the wrong thing in Iraq. We’ve been trying to do the right thing."
