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.

You still haven't answered the question, but rather avoided it. I'll try a different question. Where in this statement does the Pope state anything negative about Saddam and his regime? I see none. But I do see this one:

The Holy Father highlighted "the strength of different religions in sustaining the search for peace is a reason for comfort and hope.

Is he now a universalist or a Christian evangelist. Doesn't sound like an evangelical statement to me. No quite the contrary. Sounds more like "all roads lead to Rome", rather than "I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through me".
