Archbishop of Canterbury backs pope’s calls for peace amid Trump feud
Sarah Mullally urges Anglicans to join Leo’s ‘courageous’ call and says human cost of war is incalculable The archbishop of Canterbury has said she is standing in solidarity with Pope Leo XIV’s calls for peace amid his public feud with Donald Trump. Days after the US president objected to comments from the head of the Catholic church suggesting a “delusion of omnipotence” was fuelling the US-Israeli war in Iran, Sarah Mullally urged Anglicans to join Leo’s “courageous” call.

US capitalist democracy is fascism, and has been for a long time.
Old US newspaper comic showing a carnival sideshow with two men on stage and an announcer describing them. A crowd looks on.
The 2 men on stage are joined at the ends of their long beards. One is labeled America First and the other has a large swastika on his torso.
Annoncer: "And on this platform folks, those most perplexing people...the lads with the Siamese beard! Unrelated by blood, they are joined in a manner that mystifies the muddiest minds in the land!"

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
