Tony Blair and George Bush were the two leaders who pushed for war in Iraq and justified it by claiming falsely that Iraq had nuclear weapons. The war and its sanctions have resulted in the death of approximately 500,000 children in Iraq. Tony Blair was knighted in 2022. 

The Knighthood medal can be seen on Tony Blair as he wraps his arm around an injured Iraqi boy as he smiles for the camera.
