They clashed with Mr Blair when he was quizzed for the last time by the Commons Liaison Committee, which is composed of the chairman of all the select committees. Mike Gapes, the Labour chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said the case for intervening in other countries in future would be ‘discredited and undermined’ by the experience in Iraq. He added that Mr Blair’s strategy was now ‘out of step’ with opinion around the world.”Iraq 'has ruined case for liberal interventionism' - Independent Online Edition > UK Politics
