To use a memorial service to honour war dead, and abuse the fact such a thing is held in a church institution, to a religous leader to make cheap political points, is simply outrageous.
I am not going to criticise those who have lost people in Iraq or Afghanistan, they have every right to respond how they choose given their loss. The Archbishop of Canterbury on the other hand, should know better. To ambush Tony Blair, who is attending a service to honour those who have lost their lives due to incredibly difficult decisions he had to make in office, a hard enough thing to do anyway, is a disgrace. This more evidence we need to keep religion and politics totally seperate, and should be a warning for all politicans. From a supposed leader of the 'moral establishment', the Arhcbishops behaviour was morally reprehensible.
