(cross post from my real blog,
DavoGrande... had to wake this blog up from the sleep state)
More from the guy with the big woolly bears crawling across his face, the Arch-leftist Rowan Williams who has an office down in Canterbury.
I am not the least bit surprised at his comments, but perhaps a bit surprising is that they appear in an interview he gave to a
Muslim magazine.
Note the part about what the
beneficent British did in India, which he gave as a comparison to what we are doing in Iraq
("quick burst of violent action to clear the decks then move on and let someone else clean it up" is what he says).
Now lets talk FACTS--First,
the British were FORCED to partition India because of the Muslim
rioting and violence. Pakistan exists because Muslims rioted it into
existence, not because the British were wise and patient caretakers of
India. That's a load of crap. They did the expedient thing on their way
out the door, to keep the fighting down.
Second, Mr. Bean here seems to have no idea that
we've
been in Iraq for years building schools and giving vaccinations and
building civic infrastructure and saving lives on multiple levels,
exactly the kind of loving attention and expenditure of resources he
accuses us of NOT making.I realize it wouldn't help him
to read the papers, since those things do not appear in them, but
still, His Holiness the Starched Bishop could have a BIT better command
of fact before he launches.
Don't forget, too, that the Brits
were still in Empire mode during the India partition, having been in
India for a very very long time for the sake of spices and tea, resources and glory.
They get NO points in today's leftist interpretation of world affairs,
because they were EVIL IMPERIALISTS.
By contrast, we the Americans
are not attempting to procure any territory for any purpose, and the
Arch Nemesis even
agrees with that in his article, clumsily accusing us
of attempting to build an empire of
power and influence instead of
territory so he can still call us evil imperialists.
All of this
is well known fact, and should be treated as such by a well-educated
Brit such as our Jerry Garcia lookalike here... but he throws facts under the double decker bus and dresses up leftist propaganda instead.
As someone said (
Mitt, I think),
this will make you glad the founding fathers wrote an amendment
forbidding us from having an official state church. It's not working so
well over there in Jolly Olde England.

for linking me to this pathetic Dhimmi interview. The fact that it is
published in a Muslim magazine proves that the Starched Bishop is
literally saying to Muslims "Don't attack ME, I'm on YOUR side, it's
the Yanks you hate, not me!" He's buying protection for his church and himself, working to keep his head in these trying times....
The road to hell....
