RESEARCH by the University of Essex has found most Britons feel the war in Iraq was a failure.
A survey commissioned by academics at the university with Georgia State University in the US in found 51 per cent of British adults believed the action did not succeed.
Dr Thomas Scotto from the Colchester university, the lead investigator in the study, said the fallout from action in Iraq and Afghanistan had led to ‘war fatigue’ and despite the worsening humanitarian situation in Syria, there was no increase in public support for military intervention.
