But history may judge him differently - I hope. Maybe I see things a bit simplistically but I think he was essentially a decent guy who did what he thought was right.

I agree. Iraq was a nightmare from the beginning in 1992 or so and I honestly do not know what the solution was other than removing SH in some fashion.
I do think though that if W had executed a coherent plan after the invasion, then the later determined bogus reasons to invade would not have been a significant issue. Sadly, W did no such thing and it will hurt Blair and has gotten many of the bravest hurt of dead.
