If I help create the next ISIS by destabilising an entire region under false pretences, can I get a knighthood too?

To those commenting,
You can talk about all the good he did, as much as you want, but if someone in your family was one of the innocent civilians who died in the Iraq War or from the resulting instability... Seeing him granted our country's highest honour, might sting a little.

But admittedly I hold the extremely controversial opinion that knighthoods shouldn't be for controversial politicians...and should instead be mainly for people like nurses, firefighters, community organisers...People who suffered to help others, and tend not to have a body count.
Here's another controversial opinion:
The fact that I have criticisms of a politician you like... criticisms that I feel disqualify him from the HIGHEST HONOUR A PERSON CAN GET... should not make me your enemy.
