Most Britons would not trust Blair in another war: Poll

The opinion poll for the Sunday Times newspaper found that 57 percent of people would not trust Blair were he to take Britain into another conflict, with a mere 31 percent saying they would.

The figures are a damning indictment of how far public belief in the prime minister has plummeted in the wake of last year's US-led war in Iraq, which Blair strongly backed despite widespread domestic opposition.

Blair had argued that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) made the Iraqi leader an immediate threat and that he had to be removed, but no such weapons have been found in the 15 months since Baghdad fell.
