BRITAIN'S former envoy to Iraq has conceded that the war may not have been worthwhile, in a BBC radio interview to be broadcast tonight.
Sir Jeremy Greenstock said it was too early to judge whether the war in Iraq was worth the lawlessness and violence that has followed the toppling of president Saddam Hussein.
He also attacked the string of failures in preparing for the March 2003 US-led invasion.
...
Greenstock said the coalition had wrongly guessed that that the operation would have been easier than it turned out and that the Iraqis would take care of themselves and "march forward into a new Iraq".
