Blairs attempt to justify the invasion based on lower infant mortality rates now, as opposed to when Saddam was in power, is particularly sickening.

The sanctions regime, put in place by the UNSC resulted in an overall fall in national health figures.
Infant motality rose from 47 deaths per 1000 in 1990(when sanctions started) to 180 deaths per 1000 in 1999.
In the autonomous Northern sector of Iraq, the rates dropped from 64 per 1000 to 58 per 1000 in the same period.

These rates meant that infant mortality was at an all time high at the time of the invasion, and remained high, during the invasion and its aftermath
Infant mortality was bound to fall, when sanctions were abandoned
and indiscriminate bombing of cities like Falluja stopped.

Infant mortality in Iraq pre 1990 was at one of the lowest rates in the Middle East.
