"The pope said the day of fasting on Wednesday would remind people of the long years of suffering endured by Iraqi citizens as a result of the international embargo against the country."

The sheer hypocrisy of this statement is what disgusts me the most. He's instructing the Church to oppose the removal of the very person who brought those sanctions against these people.

"The pope Saddam Hussein/Barbra Streisand/Janeane Garofalo/OBL, etc. said the day of fasting on Wednesday would remind people of the long years of suffering endured by Iraqi citizens as a result of the international embargo against the country."

Pretty sad when the Pope says things that could be said by total nutjobs.
