The Foreign Office doesn't advise against
all travel to Iraq (Chad, Ivory Coast and Somalia are complete no-goes according to them) - they say there are parts of Iraq that it is safe to travel to.
Maybe Tony Blair should go there on his holiday instead of Tuscany. Or Margaret Beckett could take her caravan!

I think the worst thing about Iraq for us is that the two reasons we were qiven for the war have been false - Iraq didn't have WMD, and it had nothing to do with 9/11.
Not much good when your government is misleading you about the reasons for a war.
