The ex-prime minister reflects on his second election win and the strong bond he formed with President George Bush. Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, he played a pivotal role in rallying support for the US-led invasion of Afghanistan. However, when President Bush aimed to remove Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, the prime minister faced a critical choice. In a conversation with director Michael Waldman, he opens up about his decision to engage in the Iraq war, a move that many consider his most significant blunder.
