Compare and contrast
We kill Osama bin Laden.
The reaction from two major spiritual leaders is classic.
From the
London Daily Mail:
I'm uneasy about Bin Laden killing, admits Archbishop while Dalai Lama says: Sometimes you have to strike back
The Archbishop of Canterbury yesterday declared himself �very uncomfortable� about the killing of unarmed Osama Bin Laden.
But as Americans insisted they had every right to celebrate the death of the 9/11 terror chief, they found an unlikely ally in the Dalai Lama, who seemed to suggest Bin Laden had it coming.
Amid growing international unease at the manner of the Al Qaeda leader�s killing, the Archbishop said justice had not been seen to be done, adding that the White House�s ever-changing story had not helped matters.
A bit more from the Dali Lama:
The Dalai Lama was quoted by the Los Angeles Times as saying: �Forgiveness doesn�t mean forget what happened. If something is serious and it is necessary to take counter-measures, you have to take counter-measures.�
The Rev. Williams is a twit. The Episcopal Church has fallen far from when I was a regular communicant.
