The next two chapters overlap to some extent, as the response to the events of 9/11 bled into the campaign for regime change in Iraq. Not surprisingly there was a desire for revenge following the attack on the US, but many churchmen there and in the UK warned about confusing revenge with justice and whilst the first response of the Archbishop of Canterbury and his colleagues was to express sympathy for the victims many called for caution and consideration to shape any response, political or military. In the UK there were more religious voices asking questions about the any use of force when the perpetrators were hidden in mountains or in civilian centres in Afghanistan. Many commentators queried why the long-suffering people of Afghanistan had to bear responsibility for those whom their rulers sheltered and, after bombing started, asked questions about proportionality and discrimination. Whilst the Archbishop George Carey might describe the response as in some sense ‘necessary’, there appeared to be more senior Anglicans in the war-sceptic camp than during previous conflicts we have discussed, and this was to become more obvious as attention shifted towards Iraq.
