خلاصة:
What is the relationship between the doctrine of Tony Blair and America's invasion of Iraq? This paper tries to answer this question. So, it looks at the American invasion of Iraq and the British response, and argues that Brain always prevails over brawn. United States was and still is a hard power. Britain plays a soft power role in international relations. Britain usually uses the American strength and resources for the benefit of Britain. When the British describe their relations with the United States as “special,” they mean that they have the power to influence and direct US foreign policy. For an understanding of the international politics, we must concentrate on Anglo-Saxon "interdependency" through the "special relationship" which often exists between British Prime Ministers and US Presidents. Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister of the 1940s, Harold Macmillan in the 1960s, Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s and Tony Blair in the 2000s, all had special relationships with their US counterparts. While not always the case, the relationship between Tony Blair, British Prime Minster, and George Bush, American President, was beneficial to British interest and Blair's doctrine of International Community declared in 1999. it is imperative not only to understand international politics, but also to react properly to international politics. As it has been proven in the Iraq case, Tony Blair manipulated US foreign policy during the George Bush presidency.

While not always the case, the relationship between Tony Blair, British Prime Minster, and George Bush, American President, was beneficial to British interest and Blair's doctrine of International Community declared in 1999.
We try to explain the special nature of the "Special Relationship" between eminent British Prime Ministers (Churchill, Macmillan, Thatcher and Blair) and US Presidents (Roosevelt, Kennedy, Regan and Bush).
Due to the above facts and experiences, one may conclude that in the 2000s, Tony Blair was "manipulating" George Bush to get US foreign policy engaged in international relations to formulate a "Post-Cold War" to create International Community (Blair, 1999a).
British Prime Ministers, from Winston Churchill, the architect of the "Post War Order", to Tony Blair, the architect of "Doctrine of International Community",(2) maintained the same world order that was formed in 1945 and continued right through the end of the century and into new millennium.
At the end of the Cold War Bush and later Chirac joined forces behind this new theory, which has its origins in Blair's interventionist concept, based on the values of a selected minority of English speaking countries and were wrongfully applied under the banner of "International Community".
Blair wanted US foreign policy to be interdependent with British views and values and for the United States to be engaged in international politics.
As it has been proven in the case of Iraq, Tony Blair, the then British Prime Minister, manipulated US foreign policy during the George Bush presidency.
