Dr. Tom Frame, Anglican bishop to the Australian Defence Force, offers this mea culpa in The Melbourne Anglican: “As the only Anglican bishop to have endorsed the Australian Government’s case for war, I now concede that Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction. It did not pose a threat to either its neighbours or the United States and its allies. It did not host or give material support to al-Qaeda or other terrorist groups…Looking back on the past 18 months, I continue to seek God’s forgiveness for my complicity in creating a world in which this sort of action was ever considered by anyone to be necessary.”
