In just a few weeks most of the 4,000 British troops in Iraq will return home six years after one of the most controversial wars in recent history. Was it worth it? The removal of Saddam Hussein was only one objective. How secure are Iraq's democratic foundations? And what of the hoped for domino effect in the region? One British politician, Ann Clwyd, with a long involvement in Iraqi politics is hopeful of the future, but others remain unconvinced. This special edition of Politics UK asks how history will judge the outcome of the war in Iraq. Presented by Norman Smith.
