I am not a religious person but it’s good to see religious leaders use their position to raise important issues that affect us all. The Archbishop of Canterbury came out and said what most people already think about the Americans and their imperialist agenda. He has also provided his view on what the Americans (and the West, in general) need to do to regain the moral high ground and I agree with him.

It amazes me that in these apparently transparent times with almost immediate access to information and breaking news our leaders can carelessly throw their weight around while wrapping the whole exercise up as some sort of freedom march.

With Blair, Howard out and Bush on his way out, perhaps we can look forward to a period of pragmatism over dogmatism… I’m convinced that it doesn’t have to be this difficult.
