· Pope and UN secretary general urge caution
· Senior US figures warn against conflict backlash

World leaders, as well as Americans close to the Bush administration, called for calm over Iran's nuclear programme yesterday amid persistent reports that the US is considering a military attack.

In his Easter message from the Vatican, Pope Benedict spoke of "international crises linked to nuclear power" and urged: "May an honourable solution be found for all parties, through serious and honest negotiations." UN secretary general Kofi Annan also cautioned against a rush towards confrontation, saying that military action against Iran would only worsen an already tense situation.

“Republican senator Richard Lugar urged less haste in taking action against Iran and suggested direct talks between Washington and Tehran "would be useful".”

Priceless.

The pope better check his koolaid and see what his flunkies are doing to it.

Sounds a lot like Neville Chamberlain when he urged peace with Hitler at any cost back in 1939(circa).

Hey Mr. pope you can't make a good deal with devil, you will lose every time!

Reality is almost always a good foundation!
