LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister

Tony Blair said God and history would judge whether he was right to go
to war in
Iraq, according to the transcript of a television interview to be
broadcast later on Saturday.

In a rare reference to his Christian religious faith, Blair told
broadcaster Michael Parkinson he had struggled with his conscience over
the decision.

"That decision has to be taken and has to be lived with," he told ITV's
Parkinson program.
"In the end there is a judgment that, well, if I think if you have faith
about these things then you realize that judgment is made by other people."

Asked what he meant, Blair added: "By other people, by, if you believe
in God, it's made by God."
