You didn't answer the question. So what is your answer? Iraq is not "important enough" to care about or if this was say, Poland, would the Pope then care about their freedom?

I still say the Pope's rhetoric is exactly the same as those leftist protesters: "War never solves anything.

Except ending communism, fascism, nazism, etc.

[Notwithstanding]

Curiously, you show yourself to think you have all the answers to the world's problems, and are mad that the pope will not compromise his principals.

The pope never advocated armed overthrow of Poland (despite his obvisou yearning that it be freed from Soviet tyranny) - and gee wiz - the USSR was defeated without a single NATO soldier being sent in, and without any armed revolution.
