Asked in an interview with the Muslim lifestyle magazine Emel, if he thought the United States had lost the high moral ground since the 9/11 attacks, he replied "Yes."

I am not sure I believe why the Archbishop states we have lost our Moral Ground but I know we have lost it and that is why you see the USA in a fierce struggle with the Un-godly
And you?

Answer 1

He might be referring to the Gay Bishops ordained by the Anglican churches in the USA.

Answer 2

All of those answering here clearly have a very narrow US based perspective.

I am not a believer, but Williams is right - the US has no moral authority at all in the world any more. It has totally lost any credibility through its actions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay and beyond. It is widely and rightly seen as a pariah of human rights, a religious despot and a much hated war monger. It has not had a single military or moral success in the years since 9/11 and its victim status has long worn off.

You guys need to wake up and smell the roses - and they smell pretty bad at the moment. No-one respects you. At all. Not even a tiny bit.

And this is a huge shame for a country that was a respectged world leader and is now just the worlds biggest and best armed bully.

Answer 3

Taken out of context anything anyone says can be twisted around to suit any particular cause,please don't believe everything the Media tells you.I like your glasses Crimmson !!!,and too answer your question i would disagree with you,America has not lost the high moral ground since 9/11 in fact they have gained the high moral ground despite the mess in Iraq,George Bush is not the Demi-God people portray him as,his response after 9/11 was measured ,reasonable and( unlike a few hysterical leaders around the World) honest(reasonably).His one mistake was the invasion of Iraq,but that is a very tricky subject and anyone who says the Iraq's are worse off under the Americans must remember that Saddam Hussein was a mad dog and very cruel to his own people,many Iraq's would agree.

Answer 4

huge sensible international locations do look to get militaristic - therefore human pride, i imagine. They do a minimum of have a democratic procedure and some Press scrutiny that can make it more durable to interrupt out with issues, even if the click seems somewhat laudatory and not in any respect as solid because the united kingdom one for criticising misdemeanours. listening to lots of the Washington DC political commentators on Newsnight, they in certain situations sound so machiavellian; it truly is ugly. yet bear in concepts that Turks were repulsive rulers even as they were rulers of most of the middle East and a large bite of eastern Europe. also that some parts of British rule were unpleasantly conceited and violent.

Answer 5

+Rowan Williams is a complete and utter moron. That's one of the reasons the Anglican Communion is coming apart at the seams on "his watch" - he's lost his moral compass. A total loss as a Bishop, a Christian and a human being.

Answer 6

Obviously, Williams has never visited Salt Lake City during General Conference or any of the wards and stakes while church services are in session.

I put little credence on what that archbishop or any other Catholic might say.

Answer 7

Ahaha. The Iraqi War, a battle between Good and Evil? Have you been watching too much Narnia?

Answer 8

I think that God needs to get more involved with religion, as some are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Answer 9

I disagree

I believe it is a collective conscience of fear.
