Rowan speak out against bombing Iran

The archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has said that the call by some for the bombing of Iran is a criminal, ignorant and potentially murderous folly. Whilst Rowan did speak out against invasion of Iraq he said later that he wished he had done more.

Whilst the Pushy Pacifist understands that the Archbishop's focus has been elsewhere over the past few years, he certainly could and should have spoken out more against the use of armed force to solve the worlds political (and humanitarian) problems.

Some people say that being in that post makes it impossible for him to speak out. The Pushy Pacifist isn't one of them and hopes that this statement on the potential bombing of Iran is a sign that things will change.
