A good thing this jackass wasn't around during the battle of Lepanto.

Huh?

He ought to know. That's how a lot of his friends have treated young boys.

I'm speechless---but didn't a member of the Church hierarchy meet with Tariq Aziz shortly before the war?

""Seeing him like this, a man in his tragedy, despite all the heavy blame he bears, I had a sense of compassion for him," he said in answer to questions about Saddam's arrest."

Misplaced compassion for all that. His victims deserve better. Begin Catholic, I understand the theology behind that statement, but Sen. John McCain said it best,

"We are coming. God may have mercy on you, but we will not."

"It's true that we should be happy that this (arrest) has come about because it is the watershed that was necessary

He knows he should be happy, but he's obviously rather upset by it.

A good reason why religious people should not get involved in politics. I would like to hear what he would have saiid in the spectacle of the Red troops going through Hitler's ashes. This guy should shut up because he is a fool.

You are sooooooo correct in mentioning there was little pitty by this cardinal for his innocent victims who not only had bullets shot into the back of their heads (and those were the ones who got off easy) and were killed in mass by his thugs. Saddam is fortunate he even can breath today after what he has done to so many.
