I thought Benedict's visit to the Mideast seemed respectful and even handed. His style of discussing world events from a religious viewpoint might be what's needed. He did call for an end to arming the insurgents who are slaughtering Christians. He did set up a meeting between Israeli and Palestinian leaders in the Vatican.

Maybe he can accomplish something to end the global madness that could destroy world civilization. No one else is.
