Archbishop attacks US, Britain on Iraq NEWS.com.au:

THE spiritual head of the Anglican Church launched an outspoken attack on the British and US governments on Saturday, saying their 'ignorant' policy in Iraq has put Christians in the region at risk.
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the leader of the world's 77 million Anglicans, said Christians were being attacked and forced to flee the Middle East because their countrymen saw them as supporters of a 'crusading West'.

'This Christmas, pray for the little town of Bethlehem, and spare a thought for those who have been put at risk by our short-sightedness and ignorance,' Williams wrote in an article for The Times newspaper of London.

Williams, who is not shy of controversy, has long been a critic of the Iraq war, saying there was no moral basis for military intervention.

He said the consequences of Anglo-American foreign policy have been the erosion of good relations between the Muslim and Christian communities and made Christians an increasing target for Muslim extremists.
