Blair hears war questioned at Iraq service No amount of talking about ideals makes this easier, you know the cost in a uniqueway ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY ROWAN WILLIAMS YESTERDAY

By Tom Newton Dunn


TONY Blair went to a sombre service yesterday for Britain's fallen heroes in Iraq - to hear the war criticised by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Another churchman insisted on remembering the Iraqi dead alongside our own.

And a heckler shouted: "You bastard!" at Mr Blair as he left St Paul's Cathedral.

The Prime Minister looked uncomfortable when Archbishop Rowan Williams openly questioned whether the war was a success.

He told the 2,500 congregation, including the Queen and 13 other royals: "We have to acknowledge that moral vision is harder to convert into reality than we should like.
