22:43 Pope Benedict XVI says he supports G8 declaration on Israel-Lebanon fighting (AP)

Glad to hear that. There was a nasty thread about the Vatican "declaration" a few days ago.

That was Sodano...who says what he wants to say.


I don't know this for sure, but I have a hunch that beyond all the religious reasons for trying to dissuade people from war, a lot of the Vatican attitude is the fact that a lot of the senior people were boys during WWII and went through what a hard bad war can be like at an impressionable age. Actually a good thing in many ways, because sometimes we forget how hard it is for those caught in the crossfire.

But still, for every thing there is a season, and evil must be met in ways to keep it from destroying everything.
