Either works,I think no Iraq period as I think that might be easier to work out. For that maybe be less Neo-Con's in the Bush administration, or maybe Blair convinces him to try use sanctions and UN and at most another Operation Desert Fox. Blair could have also been more demanding on the intelligence services to get so better proof, Blair OTL was in my opinion like gambler as he had alot of success with military intervention and this blinded with as well is ideological belief in removing Saddam
Alright, very interesting. No Iraq, does also have a knock on effect, that might prevent Bush's popularity from falling so drastically, as it did otl. Though, the housing bubble and its burst, combined with decreasing work for people in Scotland, could see the SNP remain right wing, if my thinking there is right.
