Said the lugubrious Mr. Pot...
THE Archbishop of Canterbury has said that the United States wields its power in a way that is worse than Britain during its imperial heyday.
Rowan Williams claimed that America’s attempt to intervene overseas by “clearing the decks” with a “quick burst of violent action” had led to “the worst of all worlds”.
In a wide-ranging interview with a British Muslim magazine, the Anglican leader linked criticism of the United States to one of his most pessimistic declarations about the state of western civilisation.
He said the crisis was caused not just by America’s actions but also by its misguided sense of its own mission. He poured scorn on the “chosen nation myth of America, meaning that what happens in America is very much at the heart of God’s purpose for humanity”.
More {from Digg]. In other news, there's still an Archbishop of Canterbury. All my Chaucer references just got an update.
More rats jumping ship- McClellan completely turns on his handlers. And Clinton gets impeached for getting head. Slightly overweight, frumpily-dressed head at that. Simply no discernable logic lets this President get away with the massive corruption he's initiated and allowed.
To better days...
:-) thanks, Mom
