Who Said That?

" . . . the first place we should look for God in the War on Terror would be in the smouldering ruins of the Twin Towers, in the tears of the widows and children on that terrible day five years ago, and then in the ruins of Baghdad and Basra, the shattered homes and lives of the tens of thousands who have through no fault of their own been in the wrong place at the wrong time as the angry superpower, like a rogue elephant teased by a little dog, has gone on the rampage stamping on everything that moves in the hope of killing the dog by killing everything within reach."

As some of you guessed, these words come from everybody's favorite Bishop, N. T. Wright ("Where is God in ‘The War on Terror’?"
a public lecture in Durham Cathedral, 9 November 2006).  While Americans can and do differ in their views on the Iraq war, it troubles me when an Anglican bishop--who many consider the foremost expert on Paul--draws a tacky moral equivalence between an act of terror (911) and the US-led (and UN sanctioned, I might add) invasion of Iraq.
