Praise for Cardinal O’Brien

It is not often that the blog steps forward to defend and applaud a church leader, let alone a Cardinal, but the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland is greatly to be admired for his comments criticising the American attitude to the Lockerbie bomber. In an outspoken attack on America’s’ thirst for retribution and vengeance he has called upon them to turn their gaze inwards in one of the sharpest put downs of the United States that I can recall.

These are precisely the sentiments expressed previously by my posts on this blog and in my book 2010 A Blueprint for Change. It is very unfortunate for America that there has been the hysteria about BP (as opposed to the disaster) and the agressive attacks upon the Scottish justice system.  Add to this a cavalier disdain for the independence of Scotland’s Ministers as well as the naive lack of understanding of the limits of U.S Sovereignty and you have an image of a rather nasty bully, who is getting on everybody’s nerves. Especially the nerves of her friends.

America has very few true friends left in the world. She cannot afford to lose any more.
