Chilcot report evokes angry war memories in Middle East

Chilcot report evokes angry war memories in Middle East - BBC News
An Arabic hashtag #Chilcot_Report was used on social media where some users lamented what they described as better days, before the "senseless" war.
Iraqi journalist Othman al-Mokhtar tweeted: "One year before the occupation, Iraq launched an airspace studies centre in Baghdad/Al-Mathanna airport. That centre now is a headquarters for the (Shia) Al-Da'wa (Call) Party where the rituals of wailing and slapping are performed."
Another Iraqi journalist, Zyaad al-Senjary, tweeted: "Had Blair not been the ruler of the UK and Bush not the ruler of the US, there could have been a country called #Iraq where people were safe and did not suffer from killing and the displacement of millions."
