Grrr.....

ChirstWeb links to this story from England.
Four Church of England bishops on Monday proposed that the church apologize to Muslim leaders for the war in Iraq.
That's bad enough, but listen to the reason:
The report says the U.S.-led invasion appeared to be "as much for reasons of American national interest as it was for the well-being of the Iraqi people."
In the first place, this would indicate that war is not justified when it is in self-interest. Apparently these guys don't understand the difference between a soldier and a mercenary. By their logic our military can function only as mercenaries, fighting only someone else's fight, not our own.

Secondly, even if it was primarliy in our own interests and not theirs, can they honestly believe the Iraqis were better under Hussien? Who knew? I thought the whole secret police, arbitrary execution, gassing of citizens, mass grave thing was about as low as a country could get. I guess not -- I guess a formative democracy is worse.

These guys are ignorant. That's all I can say, ignorant.
