How +Cantuar May Save His Neck

The Archbishop of Canterbury seems still to be in a bit of a spot over his recent remarks on Sharia. While many have called for his resignation, that shouldn't concern him unduly; most of those calls (so tarsome) come from traditional Christians and may be safely ignored. No, the real problem for the Archbishop is he has pissed off some of his pals from the left and if they aren't pacified, His Grace could have a problem on his hands. Critics from the left require special handling and your Bloviator is only too pleased to offer the Archbishop a job-saving tip.

His Grace should immediately embark upon a speaking tour and lambaste the west, the United States and President George Bush (not necessarily in that order) in no uncertain terms, at every stop, as the "root cause" for every single possible evil in the world. In no time his critics on the left will rally round him (or at least will silence themselves), being assured His Grace is still on their side. This campaign will, of course, do nothing to mollify the Africans, Asians and other third-worlders but that hardly matters because they are poor and have zero caché. +Cantuar will be restored in the eyes of those who count, liberals with prestige and money, and all silly talk of his resignation should cease. If the Archbishop has any doubts about this, he may wish to consult Bill Clinton and discuss how that former president got a pass from the feminists for some rather anti-feminist behavior while he was in power.
