The Pope should have kept his mouth shut, just as he did when we went into Afghanistan.

If he had, perhaps Hussein would have folded. Instead, the Pope's words allowed Hussein, and Chirac, and Schroeder, to hide behind his skirts.

Hmmm .... be careful, he may unfrock you!! For once in his life Wojtyla was right in opposing the attacks on Iraq. His
sense of morality is not exactly that of American big business, convoluted protestantism and the ulterior motives of some ambitious Jews. The chief concern for America should be world opinion not any particular Vatican stance. And the Christian world is not entirely preoccupied with the 'righteousness' of American foreign policy.
